The story, which is set in a small village on a remote Scottish Island, centres around the gifted Callum who is in his final year at school
and preparing to go to University in Aberdeen on the mainland. He receives private tuition from Charles McAllister a former Headmaster at the
village school who has become bitter since the death of his wife. McAllister coaches Callum in French and Poetry. When he is not coaching Callum he
is compiling a photo biography of the characters in the village. The wedding of the young village nurse is to form the centre piece of his biography.
The story traces the life of characters in the village as recorded by McAllister, but seen through the eyes of Callum.
It is the story of the life, loves and motivators in the life of young man in the process of breaking free from the place where he grew up.


I caught this on BBC iPlayer and spent a reflective 1 hour 35 in its spell.
The Gaelic is poetic to the untrained ear, the location haunting, and the storylines engaging.
It echoes something of Gregory's Girl and foreshadows the dilemmas of Brooklyn.
Look carefully at 47 minutes and you'll catch the masterpiece The Battle of Algiers with a clever comment on colonialism and cultural imperialism.
To paraphrase one of the characters, "Concentrate on the film, it's good". Rich and rewarding.

his film won't be for everyone, it is very slow and exactly what you might expect the going-ons in a remote Scottish village to be.
Nevertheless, there is something unique and incredibly thoughtful in this film, and the dynamics between characters are demonstrated elegantly in practically every shot,
which is what held my attention above the plot lines themselves. Within the plot, there are several character threads which provide an interesting premise.
Overall, I have been moved by this quiet film that I stumbled upon by chance, and believe it deserves more praise than the meagre recognition it seems to have received - at least online.
The acting is solid, and this was the first Gaelic film I have watched, though I don't think it will be the last.
