On the small Scottish island of Erraid, members of an off-the-grid community seek to live as close to nature as possible, pursuing a sustainable alternative to the consumerism of the outside world. This means days spent working the land and relying on one another. Against the Tide follows a woman named Gill who decided to upend her life after a relationship breakup, and ‘risk the unknown’ by moving to the island. Capturing the contemplative pace of life on Erraid, the Scotland-based filmmaker Giulia Candussi follows Gill as her six-month trial stay comes to a close, and she and her fellow community members decide if she’ll become a permanent resident.

It's good. Brings the neolithic to modern times
This way of life is so appealing to me. I don't feel I fit in normal society.

Very tempting!
I've just finished reading "The Bell" by Iris Murdoch. This seems to be a more amicable community, I think...
I was hoping to learn more about the community itself and why she wanted to be apart of it
