A documentary film of great charm from Iceland following the adventures of "Oscar" the wood mouse in Iceland. In the UK this critter is normally called a long tailed field mouse.
When you see the little mouse evading predators, including swimming, trying his best to survive in a hostile world, its hard not to be sympathetic towards this plucky and intelligent animal many merely regard as a pest to be exterminated. Oscar meets his love Helga when both find themselves stuck in a humane mouse trap in a farm house.
The ending is rather sad...but such is nature. Glynis Barber provided an English language narration in the version I saw. This film may change your attitude to "meeces".
