Sammatti Film Festival offers another dose of enlightening and inspiring cinema, 5-6 September 2026.

Kári cherishes the simple life in his small village. Together with his sister Silja, he quietly mourns the loss of their mother. While Kári finds solace in his job at the fish factory, Silja struggles to finish school, and their father returns to the sea on a fishing boat. But when the factory faces the threat of closure, the fragile balance of their world begins to unravel. As the friends dream of escape and seek new lives beyond the island, Kári makes a different choice – to stay and confront life head-on.

Winner of the Nordic Council Film Prize is a love letter to the village, and to what keeps it alive: the people, the memories, the nature. It is a beautiful reminder that even though the world is vast and full of opportunities, a small island in the Faroe Islands can be just right for some of us.
