Noi the Albino
“Nói would like to be loved. Nói would like to become rich. Nói would like to escape to Hawaii.”
Drama
17 year old Nói drifts through life on a remote fjord in Iceland. In winter, the fjord is cut off from the outside world, surrounded by ominous mountains and buried under a shroud of snow. Nói dreams of escaping from this white-walled prison with Íris, a city girl who works in a local gas station. But his clumsy attempts at escape spiral out of control.
VIBE
A stark, melancholic portrait of youthful yearning against a backdrop of crushing isolation. The film feels like a long, cold winter, where dreams of escape are fragile against the weight of monotony and familial bonds.
