Iki Haole- Nico´s Hawaiian Adventure

Publicerat av lucas4you den mars 19, 2008

Translated from native Hawaiian, ”Iki Haole” means ”my little foreign friend” and friendship is just what this unique made-for-German-television feature is all about. (Shot in English). Fifteen -year-old Nico, played by cuddly, cute Romanian actor Nico Almasan, is on his own in sunny Honolulu where he soon gets himself into truble with one of the local bullies. To the rescue comes James, a twenty-four-year-old surfer, played with laidback charm by handsome newcomer David C. Naughton. What follows is a sweet, sometimes silly adventure and a wonderful exploration of male bonding. With wide-eyed and puppy-like devotion, young Nico happily accompanies his older pal on a quest for the perfect wave, and in the process gets an insider’s tour of the Big Island. Part travelogue, part kids-on-the-loose escape, Iki haole takes you to an idyllic paradise of waterfalls and killer waves, skinny dippin’ at swimming holes, hula dancers and amost of all to a magical place where boyhood never has to end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
