Siblings Isla and Sandy have lived alone on a remote Scottish island for 30 years, hunting seabirds and talking to mythical creatures. Then Daniel, an awkward land recovery coordinator, shows up with orders to move them to the mainland. Louis Paxton wrote and directed it, and it won an award at Sundance. One island, two stubborn locals and the worst work trip of Daniel's life.
Anyone who has been sent somewhere for work and immediately regretted it.
