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. All that Max
reveals is the tragedy that haunts him and
pushes him toward self-destruction. In a
moment of raw catharsis, Jed realizes that
he, he himself, knows what he's been
looking for. Whispering the magic words to
Max, Jed saves him from a greater tragedy.
Now he must hurry to tell Chloe. But when
he arrives at the hospital, her bed is
empty...
Starring Gary Lewis (Billy Elliott,
Gangs of New York) and Martin
Compston (Sweet Sixteen) in the
lead roles, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson's
intimate drama sensitively portrays the
naïve yet uncompromising search of a
handicapped young man for the purpose of
life. The Icelandic director is known for
his highly acclaimed films Cold Fever,
Devil's Island and the OSCAR-nominated
Children of Nature.
Fridrik Thór Fridriksson
was born in 1954. Self-educated in
filmmaking, he started making 16 mm short

founder, editor and film critic of
Iceland's first film magazine. Fridriksson
was a driving force in establishing the
Reykjavik Film Festival in 1978 and has
been one of its leaders ever since. His
films include: White Whales (1987), the
