Out in Iceland
This is a charming film about a young gay man coming out to friends and family.
It turns out that Iceland isn't much different from any place else.
This kid is very sweet and his coming of age is not smooth but it is not hazardous to his health either.
This is from the DVD collection. The thing I like about it is that every trope of a teen romantic comedy is present with two boys instead of the usual M/F combination.
The whole effect is that Iceland is just a small town on a national scale. There are bigots of course but mostly they are provincials. Our hero has been away to school on student exchange and in the process he kissed another boy on the last day. Who was also from Iceland. Simple story. They want to get back together at home.
It is a part of our collection and hence is a 5 out of Netflix5.
