Noi the Albino

Noi the Albino

Nói would like to be loved. Nói would like to become rich. Nói would like to escape to Hawaii.

200390 min7.0 / 10

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.
