Details
The 27 residents of the tiny Danish island of Mandø are used to severe weather and flooding. Climate change has only made things worse and now it poses a serious existential threat to the eight-square-kilometre island.
Nevertheless, Mandø’s last remaining farmer, Gregers, refuses to leave and is applying to the Danish reality TV show Farmer Wants a Wife to find himself a companion. Mie blows out the candles of her 100th-year birthday cake, Ellen and Ingeborg complain about the moon disease they suffer from, birdwatcher Niels laments about the rare birds that don’t come to the island anymore, and tourist guide Preben tells stories about past deadly floods to summer visitors.
This delightful and droll portrait of Mandø’s inhabitants is accompanied by masterfully-crafted shots of the distinctive landscape. It is a microcosm in more than one sense, as a storm is slowly approaching.
