The Isle of Barra, situated at Southwestern tip of Hebrides, is an isolated place with a mysterious magnetism. The film depicts everyday life on this remote island where traditional tasks such as fishing and crafting are carried out. We are captured by the fairy tales and the Celtic folklore of Barra, and the dreamlike beauty of the landscape. The recurrence of symbols, colors and signs have given a poetic quality to this impressionistic documentary film. (official distributor synopsis)
