The documentary style film follows the real-life struggle of converting the UK’s and possibly the worlds first fishing boat to solar and electric power to fish at a competitive and commercial level.
It’s set on Scotland’s West coast in the scenic and alluring Argyll village of Tayvallich. Over the course of almost a year it runs with the highs, lows and challenges related to the venture as well as the determination and skill set of the builder and skipper.
The young local director Joe Osborn has skilfully ingrained the seasonal moods, the strong local community spirit and the Argyll way of doing things into a comfortably paced compelling story of our times. One fisherman’s conviction towards the carbon free future we all need to embrace. A small film, but a powerful one.
It is a true story, a drama, a documentary, a visual spectacular, a thriller, an action movie, a comedy, a snapshot of real life, a feel good as well as tragedy and an environmental statement all set in the West Coast of Scotland’s fishing industry.
