Part of Regina Ziegler's Erotic Tales series, the dialogue-free short film On Top Down Under is directed by Icelandic filmmaker Fridrik Thór Fridriksson. On the literal top of the world, a young woman (Nina Gunnarsdottir) in Iceland thinks about her boyfriend during the cold winter nights while she's left alone with only icicles to keep her company. Meanwhile, a naked man (Hilmir Snær Gudnason) is out the middle of a heat wave in the Australian outback as he carefully loads large blocks of ice. Fridriksson also incorporates a sonnet by John Keats.
