Niceland
2004 · Movie · 86 min. · Iceland
Jed and Chloe are in their early twenties, in love - and mentally handicapped. When Jed accidentally causes the death of Chloe´s cat, which she loves almost as much as Jed, Chloe retreats into silence and loses her will to live. Convinced that there must be something else in life to give it meaning, something that will help revive Chloe´s spirit, Jed sets out to find it. Led to believe that a scrap-metal dealer, Max, knows the precious answer, Jed cautiously enters the eccentric world of this solitary man. Yet in spite of the bond of friendship that develops between them, Max remains tight-lipped - even after Chloe falls into a coma and Jed begs him to tell him the secret.
