Noi the Albino
Nói would like to be loved. Nói would like to become rich. Nói would like to escape to Hawaii.
Directed by Dagur Kári
Produced by Zik Zak Filmworks, M&M Productions
A melancholic portrait of adolescent isolation and yearning in a frozen, claustrophobic landscape, where dreams of escape collide with the weight of circumstance.
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.
