Two farmers in Iceland are framed by the Sheriff and sent to Denmark to slave in chains for the rest of their life. The younger one returns after 20 years to realize he has a son and wants revenge.

Thanks dpg and Nir as well as Rudger. I'm glad you see more than just the potential of the story to be a feature. A series is of course much more prestige. But the feature would of course make my day.

Agree with Nir Shelter that if the concept is for a feature film, than the focus may need to be narrowed, the narrative tightened. As I currently understand the concept, it seems to lend itself more to a series.

In any event, I think it's a viable concept. May the odds be in your favor.

Good setting and great stakes but a few structural problems though.

"His motivation is revenge and getting his farm back?" = two goals.

"The bulk of the story is the suffering and surviving of the main character and then the embarrassment and the conviction of the accuser doing wrong?" = two act 2.

As there is an insistence on doubling up on the goals and main actions the MC will take in act 2, this reads to me more like a series than a film.

The forward motion drive that comes from a singularity is more powerful than that of a double goal in a film (did any one say legalist??). Most producers would be attracted to the power of such a pitch for a film.
However in a series you can have multiple goals and justify this by allowing the motivations to compound each other and subsequently grow as each goal is clarified over a longer period of screen time.

I suggest you re consider the format and structure this concept into a series it would have a greater likelihood of being picked up.

Hope this helps.
