Description
Mr Lloyd travels to a remote Irish island by boat, seeking an authentic experience. He plans to paint the landscape, while Mr Masson arrives with the aim of recording the local speech and preserving the language. As they interact with the island's residents, tensions arise over what it means to document a place and its culture. The locals have their own perspectives on these outsiders' intentions, leading to conflicts about ownership and representation. The story explores themes of identity, art, and the complexities of cultural exchange.
