The drama revolves around Hadda Padda, whose character embodies a complex interplay of love, pride, and resilience, set against the backdrop of Icelandic life. The opening of "Hadda Pada" introduces us to a richly detailed world populated by vibrant characters, namely Hadda Padda herself, along with her sister Kristrun and their nurse Rannveig.
