Noi is not your average teenager, but then neither are his surroundings. Trapped in a small town by the harsh environment of Iceland's snow swept hinterland the young lad dreams of escape, but his eccentric and relentlessly disastrous attempts to break away only enforce the community's suspiscions that he's not just weird, but simple. Noi Albinoi is a deliciously idiosyncratic tale that revolves around one of the most likeably sympathetic characters in recent cinema; a cool, intelligent, witty and moving directorial debut.
