| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Cold Fever |
|---|
This is an unusual fish-out-of-water story in which a young Japanese executive reluctantly gives up his vacation to seek the burial spot of his recently deceased parents. The problem is that they died in Iceland, so their son has to make a pilgrimage to what he perceives as a very foreign land, replete with freezing temperatures, wierd foodstuffs, and highly eccentric people.
