In their remote home in the North Atlantic the Faroe Islanders have always eaten what nature could provide, proud to put local food on the table. The land yields little, so they have always relied on harvesting their seas. Hunting whales and seabirds kept them alive for generations and gave them the way of life they love; a life they would pass on to their children. But today they face a grave threat to this tradition. When a local doctor makes a grim discovery that their beloved whales are toxic - contaminated by the outside world - what once secured their survival now endangers their children, and the Faroe Islanders must make a choice between health and tradition.
