World's only penis museum seeks human donor.

Over more than 40 years Sigurdur Hjartarson, founder and curator of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, has built a vast collection of male genitalia. Now, having gathered samples from all other mammals, Hjartarson wants one more specimen to complete the exhibit: a human penis.

Sure to raise laughs as well as utter disbelief, MIFF's strangest true story follows follows Hjartason in his quest to complete his life's work, along with two characters willing to step up to the chopping block: 95-year-old Páll Arason, a legendary Icelandic explorer and lothario who wants his well-travelled member preserved after his death; and Tom, an eccentric American eager to donate his manhood while he's still around to view it. The Final Member is an extraordinary, squirm-inducing and ultimately poignant tale of three men who all want to leave a legacy.

The Final Member ultimately reflects on how we choose to live our life, and even more, how we want it to be remembered.” - Indiewire
