Air fhàgail ann an eilean iomallach, mì-thlachdmhor anns a’ chuan, a’ rùsgadh nan caorach ann an droch aimsir an cuideachd caraid a bh’ aige bho òige, bidh fear a’ gearan mu shuidheachadh ri a chèile a tha a' fuireach air tìr-mòr. Cha b’ fhada, ge-tà, gus am bi rudan mì-chàilear a bha falaichte a’ tighinn am bàrr agus a’ maoidheadh air a’ chàirdeas eadar an dithis fhear. Saoil am bi e seasmhach fhad ’s a bhios an stoirm ann? ’S e Daibhidh Walker am prìomh chleasaiche ann an dràma a sgrìobh Iain MacRath agus a riochdaich Liz Carruthers ann an co-bhanntachd ri Theatre Gu Leòr.

Stuck shearing sheep on an isolated island, surrounded by the ocean with nothing to enjoy but the bad weather and the company of his childhood friend, a man laments his situation in messages back to his wife on the mainland. But soon unpleasant secrets begin to come to the surface, and their friendship might not last the storm. Daibhidh Walker features in a haunting Gaelic-language short from writer Iain Macrae, directed by Liz Carruthers. Produced in association with Theatre Gu Leòr.
