Cold Fever is a movie of the Icelandic director Friðrik Þór Friðriksson of 1995 . The original title Á köldum klaka means translated on cold ice .
A young Japanese man travels to Iceland to pay their last respects to their deceased parents in a ceremony following ancient Japanese tradition . He meets a wide variety of people, locals and tourists . In contrast to this, however, there is always the icy and strangely foreign-looking landscape, and so the effect can almost be described as surrealistic in some places . The film ends with the finding of the place where the parents died and the completion of the ceremony for the dead.
The music for the film comes from Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson . The beginning of the film takes place in Tokyo and was recorded with an aspect ratio of 1.66: 1. When the plane with the main character arrives in Iceland, the picture becomes wider with an aspect ratio of 2.35: 1.
