There is anothe spot, but as the video has earthy tones and Tuula is agouti (brownish) it's quite a challenge, so there's another spot but here is one of the two moments.
Well the story harbours a lot of legend in Iceland and is a well known part of their folklore. Some native told me that the mother was in fact in love with the father but abandoned the child due to the possible shame... there are a few variants... but what is really clear is that Iceland has a very rich folklore both about elves (Hudafolk) and Ghosts that in fact have many different categories. I think many children songs are creepy, I don't know if you have watched my take on Ring around the Rosie, for me that ones is the creepiest hahah :) and still naively sung by children in their games. But this one more than horror is eerie and sad and full of moody melancholia
