Synopsis
The story of Atsushi Hirati, a young Tokyo executive, who is looking forward to his yearly vacation playing golf in Hawaii. His plans change suddenly when his grandfather convinces him to perform a memorial service for Atushi's parents at the spot where they died: a remote river in Iceland. COLD FEVER is a story of golf and ghosts; an old Citroen and exploding icebergs; funerals and boiled sheep's heads; men's choirs and Icelandic country western bands; a potent liquor called Black Death and auras; and most of all the story of how one young man takes a very difficult journey in order to find out about himself.
