Tveir bti English lit. Two on a Boat, play of words lost in translation is an Icelandic television series that first aired on Icelandic public television channel Sjnvarpi in December 1992. The series is a part of Jladagatal Sjnvarpsins, an ongoing series of televised Advent calendars. It was written by Kristn Atladttir, an assistant producer at Sjnvarpi at the time.
Sra Jn is a composer, bellringer and seaman from the small village of StralitluBuguvk. Every Sunday and every major holiday, Sra Jn rings the church bell to call the villagers to church. He also goes to sea every morning on his small fishing boat. One day in early December, Sra Jn is very sleepdeprived from composing a new Christmas carol which he plans to play on the church bells on Christmas Eve. Sra Jn takes a nap as the boat sails out to sea, but oversleeps. When he wakes up, the boat is out of fuel in the middle of the ocean, with no land in sight. Sra Jn needs to find a way to get back home before Christmas so that he can ring the bell on Christmas.
