A poignant tale of self-discovery on the remote Scottish island of Foula, where 30-year-old Bartek seeks solace from the chaos of everyday life.  Inspired by his father’s unrealised dream, he forges a surprising bond with an unlikely companion, finding clarity and purpose in the most unexpected of places.

Ultima Thule, the end of the known world. Britain's most isolated island of Foula serves as the backdrop for 30-year-old Bartek’s (Jakub Gierszał) solo journey as he leaves behind his family and career to find a sense of life. Armed with only a backpack and memories, he grapples with his past and contemplates his future in the wake of his father's unexpected passing. Finding work with an eccentric local farmer, Bartek wrestles with his next steps while drawing inspiration from his father's unrealised dreams. Along this transformative journey, he forges unlikely friendships and revels in the breathtaking natural wonders of the remote island, aptly dubbed “The Furthest Point'."

 

Remarkable minimalist feature debut by Klaudiusz Chrostowski delves into the importance of genuine human connections and transformative influence of the natural world. Recipient of the Best Film Award in the Micro Budget Competition of the 2023 Gdynia Film Festival, the film showcases Jakub Gierszał’s stellar lead performance.
