DESCRIPTION
I have noticed that something draws us towards outlying islands. Left alone on a scrap of land surrounded by the vast Atlantic, they find themselves overtaken by hidden desires. I have noticed that something draws us towards outlying islands. Some force pulls.

In 1939, on the eve of war, two young ornithologists arrive on a remote Scottish island, sent by the government to survey the bird life. With them are Kirk, the island's authoritarian leaseholder, and his niece Ellen. Left alone on a scrap of land surrounded by the vast Atlantic, they find themselves overtaken by hidden desires.
