"Exquisitely filmed in the immersive landscape of a remote island in the North Sea, Skál explores the inner and outer landscapes of a young couple's emerging lives within the newly expanding world of adulthood. This intimate, lyrical portrait comes in a richly poetic form that speaks to the insider/outsider dynamic that storytellers so often embody in order to gain new perspectives. The early experiences of exploring one's sense of place and belonging is set against the yearnings and fears that come from choosing a creative life within a conservative community, offering a shorthand on how to be brave and open to a wider world."
