Fresh from its award-winning appearances at Sundance and the Edinburgh Film Festivals comes this warm and witty comedy of oddballs refusing to leave their harsh isolated life on a remote Scottish island.
Raised on a remote Scottish island, and now tyhe owning remaining inhabitants, siblings Isla (Rankin) and Sandy (O’Rourke) spend their days hunting, squabbling and telling stories. But when nervy council official Daniel (Domhnall Gleeson) arrives intent on rehousing them, the pair must wrestle with the threat and exciting possibilities of the mainland.
Crammed with intriguingly strange characters and performed with aplomb by a wonderful cast, this terrific debut from director Louis Paxton fuses surreal humour, warmth and pathos. A delightful and moving comedy about loneliness, connection and the unknown for fans of The Banshees of Inisherin and Local Hero.
