Storyline
| Plot Summary |
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. Written by Anonymous |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Although this film is in a fictional location, there are few clues as to where it might be. It is clearly a Protestant island, which would exclude the southern Outer Hebrides. The locals also play football (soccer) rather than shinty so that excludes some of the Inner Hebrides and the Firth of Clyde area. It is presumably supposed to be somewhere in the northern Outer Hebrides, and this would match up with the fact it is based on two stories by Iain Crichton Smith (Iain Mac a' Ghobhainn) who came from the Isle of Lewis. On the other hand, the filming locations are on the Highland mainland, which means that some of the areas are more wooded than most of the Outer Hebrides. The actors speak Gaelic with a variety of different local accents, but they are predominantly from the northern Outer Hebrides. See more » |
