Synopsis
On a remote Scottish island, poor harvests and bad weather are bringing an end to the traditional ways of life. The islanders must decide whether to abandon their homes and seek employment on the mainland. Director Powell's breakthrough film, shot on the island of Filou, was a particularly meaningful project for him.
