Plot summary

Abandoned by her mother when she was a child, Shell has stayed to take care of her dying father but now feels trapped within the beautiful but desolate landscape that surrounds her. With only her routine of running the decaying petrol station, taking care of her father, and spending afternoons in her bedroom with a local mechanic, life is passing Shell by with every passing truck that rattles her walls. One day a salesman stops to re-fuel and offers Shell a taste of the outside world that takes her closer than ever to the edge of the road and her desire to escape.

A moody drama that's not quite as bleak

A moody drama that's not quite as bleak as the setting, but one that does explore 'being' through a slightly unsettling father-daughter relationship.

Not an easy film to watch. It's slow

Not an easy film to watch. It's slow, gaining texture from lingering shots of detail and landscape. The tale is grim but largely credible; it occurred to me after watching that possibly no one living in the Highlands would actually lead such an isolated life. A good effort.

Odd drama. A girl and her dad live

Odd drama. A girl and her dad live in the middle of nowhere at a petrol station. Not much happens but it had quite an intense feel to it. Disturbing issues. Weirdly quite good if you like films with not much talking and not a lot happening
