During a heat wave in East Iceland in May, in a temperature of fifteen degrees, a the journalist drove from Borgarfjörður east to Egilsstaðir. The mountains are high and majestic and the heath is wide and nowhere more perfect to enjoy music and the view of the scenery under the clear blue sky. A green shed by the roadside caught the attention of the journalist, beside which a small yellow pick-up table surrounded by a green lattice was placed. A car stalled on the roadside, and one woman was looking around. In the middle of the day, I was hardly expecting to encounter something that looked at first like the smallest coffee shop in the world but turned out to be a solar powered coca cola vending machine. I hit the brakes and turned around to investigate, encountering the German citizen Barbara, who knew everything about the vending machine. The reporter’s curiosity for the vending machine soon gave way to the woman herself, as it turned out she had a story to tell. This is how it happened that two strange women sitting alone together on top of the heath, one telling he other about her life.
