A KOLDUM KLAKA

Atsushi Hirata, a young employee in a Tokyo fish company, is forced to give up his vacation in Hawaii, to perform a memorial service for his parents. The ceremony can only be held at the place where they died: a river in a remote corner of Iceland. Consequently, this urbane young man will have to endure bizarre adventures in this «very strange country», in order to realize his musical quest. «It was inspired by a news report I saw on Icelandic TV», Fridriksson recalls. «Some Japanese scientists doing research in a remote corner of Iceland drowned when their jeep overturned in a river, Incredibly, years later, the families of the victims arrived from Japan, travelled across Iceland and perform a simple, but very touching, ceremony by the river... This is the only way to guarantee that the spirits of the dead will be at peace».
