Tha cur-seachad sònraichte aig Birta agus Selma, dithis deugaire a tha a’ fuireach an Vestmannaeyjar, Innis Tìle. An àite a’ dol a-mach gu partaidhean, neo a’ cluich geamannan bhideo, bidh iad a’ dràibheadh timcheall am baile air an oidhche, air misean gus isean buthaigre caillte aithneachadh agus an sàbhlachadh, an stiùireadh air ais chun na mara. Ann am Isean Buthaigre, leanidh an stiùiriche Jessica Bishop na h-oidhirpean glèidhteachais brosnaichail de na boireannaich òga seo, mar a tha i a’ cruthachadh sgeulachd tighinn-ri-aois èiginneach agus iom-fhillte eadar na nigheanan, na h-iseanan agus an eilean aca. ’S ann an Innis Tìle a bhuineas an àireamh as motha nam buthaidean san t-saoghal: bidh còrr is leth àireamh nam buthaidean a’ briodadh an Innis Tìle agus ‘s ann an Vestmannaeyjar na dhachaidh dha còrr is 800,000 paidhir briodachaidh.

Dir :Jessica Bishop 20 min, Iceland 2023 Language: Icelandic with English Subtitles HIFF PG
Birta and Selma, two teenagers living in Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland, have a unique pastime. Instead of going out to parties, or playing video games, at night they drive around their town on a mission to locate lost pufflings (puffin chicks) and rescue them, guiding them back to the ocean. In Puffling, director Jessica Bishopp follows the inspiring conservation efforts of these young women, while also crafting a compelling and multilayered coming- of-age narrative between the girls, the young birds and their island.

Iceland has the world’s largest puffin population; over half of the world’s puffin population breeds in Iceland and Vestmannaeyjar is home to over 800,000 breeding pairs.
