Sawr this last night and loved it. A man, with no real explanation, is the lone rider out to a desolate wasteland where a lone gas station stands (Iceland there). He is picked up by a welcoming committee of one and taken to his new apartment that has everything he needs including clothes. He reports to work the next day and slowly realizes he's in some sort of paradise where everything works to his wishes--including getting laid.
Great? No, he tires of it and the lack of real laughter and children and certain smells. He finds himself trapped into a sanitized purgatory and accidentally discovers a small portal of normalcy. He pursues that normalcy with pick axes and jackhammers and is apprehended for chasing the world he left.
This is reviewed as a "black comedy" and that it is. Funny and thought provoking it is worth a see.
