Atlantic Rhapsody - 52 scenes from Tórshavn
A trip through 24 hours of the smallest capital in the world, Tórshavn. It is structured as a relay race, in which a person, a thing or something out of a scene brings the audience into another scene with new people and events.
Out of this emerges a kaleidoscopic story of both daily occurrences and dramatic situations, which in an entertaining and ironic way acts as a commentary on the Faroese, foreigners in the islands, as well as Faroese society in general.
Atlantic Rhapsody is the first feature film ever to be produced in the Faroes. It is a no-budget film made against all odds for 1.7 mio. DKR.
