Skál - cheers to feeling dirty each time the sun rises
A young woman stages a youth rebellion of her own design on the Faroe Islands, where the Christian faith is facing a new era.
Dania is 21 years old and grew up in a Christian community in the Faroe Islands' Bible belt. She has just moved to Tórshavn and is seeing Trygvi, a hip-hop artist and poet locally known as Silvurdrongur (Silver Kid). Where do you draw your lines when you are young and Christian? Is it a sin to drink or dance? Or to have sex before marriage? Or to have a boyfriend who is not a Christian? And how long can you endure living between two worlds?
