The Last Paradise on Earth

Kári lives on an isolated island in the Faroe Islands, one of the smallest countries in the world. Since his mother died, he has stoically worked to keep his family together: during the day he stands at the machine in the local fish factory, the only employer on the island. And in the evening, he takes care of his father and his younger sister Silja, who is slipping away from him bit by bit. When the factory faces the threat of closure due to the dwindling fish stocks of the ever-warmer sea, Kári's everyday life begins to unravel. While some friends start working on trawlers, his school friend Elin, with whom he shares a tenderly smouldering closeness, raves about studying art in Paris. Should he go with her and, for the first time, follow his own dreams? His own dreams – he hardly knows what they might look like. For Kári, the island is “the last paradise on Earth”. Perhaps the right thing to do would be to stay and face the challenges? Shot on the Faroe island of Suðuroy, the film tells a coming-of-age story amidst responsibility, climate change, and the question of finding one's own way.
