About this show
Raised on a remote Scottish island, oddball siblings Isla (Rankin) and Sandy (O’Rourke) spend their days hunting, squabbling and telling stories. But when nervy council official Daniel (Gleeson) arrives intent on moving them along, 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. Winner of the NEXT Innovator Award at the Sundance Film Festival, this is a delightful and moving comedy about loneliness, connection and the unknown.
