The Valley at the Centre of the World

Shetland: a place of sheep and soil close ties and an age-old way of life. A place where David has lived all his life like his father and grandfather before him. A place where Sandy a newcomer but already a crofter may have finally found a home. A place that Alice has fled to after the death of her husband. In the wind and sun and storms from the Atlantic these islanders must decide: what is left of us when the day's work is done the children grown and all our choices have been made?
