Annika

Annika Samuelsen lives in the Faroe Islands and is transgender. She is in the process of correcting her physical sex but this is a long and often very demanding process, that would be made a little easier, if she were able to legally change her gender while she waited. In the Faroe Islands, you are not legally allowed to change your gender before you've changed your physical sex, even if you are receiving treatment where sex correction surgery is the desired end result.

The Valley

A guilt-ridden taxi driver takes a desperate passenger to her destination. On the journey their fates collide and they both realize that they have to make a final sacrifice in order to be redeemed.

Guilt

A nurse is taking care of an elderly dying woman on a small island near the Torshavn. An old repressed memory of the island resurfaces to haunt the nurse and, as the elderly lady's health deteriorates, so does the sanity of the nurse.

The Cigarette

Waste youth - but not with the wrong cigarette brand. Even on the Faroes, being young is an issue of style and distiction. And the difference between "Kings" and "Prince" is the difference between provincial backwaters and the big, wide world
