Directed by
Ulla Rasmussen
.
Ulla Boje Rasmussen portrays with humour and empathy life in the small Faroese village of Gásadalur, inhabited by just 16 adults and a 9-year old boy. The film gives a unique insight into the inhabitants living conditions. It portrays their expectations or a long-awaited tunnel through the fell – which cuts off the village from the ourside world as well as from the future. Film awards include "Best Nordic Documentary" (Nordic Panorama 1990, Norway). Presented in a new, digitised version with the epilogfilm, Not on a Friday (2015), depicting the tunnel breakthrough.
