Jed and Chloe work in a factory somewhere in Scotland. They are young, in love and a bite naive. When Chloe’s cat dies in an accident, she thinks there is no longer any point of life, and falls into silence. Jed desperately seeks something, anything that could bring some meaning back to her life. Hoping that Max the scrap merchant can provide the answer, Jed moves in with him and torments him with the question: what is the meaning of life. Max isn’t too sure about him, and has his own tragic tale to tell. Director Fridrik Thór Fridriksson is in top form in his latest film. „Niceland“ is a fairytale, a love story, a buddy movie, a drama and a comedy. Its remarkable clarity, quietly lyrical and beautifully melancholy images are utterly enchanting. Filmed in English with an excellent international cast: Gary Lewis („Billy Elliot“, „Gangs of New York“), Kerry Fox („Intimacy“), and Martin Compston („Sweet sixteen“).
