Manning a practically-disused service station in the remotest highlands of Scotland, Shell (beautiful performance by Chloe Pirrie ) lives with only her broken-down mechanic father (Joseph Mawle) for company, yet her warmth radiates out to keep Shell on the map.

Shell gives the viewer much to digest; visually, it’s a completely unexpected take on the Scottish highlands and often brilliantly so. Through Yoliswa Gartig’s crisp camera, the pale blues and icy moonlight are cut through with moments of flashing scrub to make Shell seem otherworldly, not even Scottish. Added to the howling wind – a considerable achievement for soundman Chris Campion, given the elements – it’s enough to send a shiver down your spine. Sometimes we don’t see a car for a week in winter, Shell says, and you can believe it.

Shell is pale too, abandoned by her mother when she was four and homeshooled by her father. All is clearly not right in Shell’s world, but she’s intrinsically a bright soul who has an effect on everyone she encounters. Pete, meanwhile, is taciturn, damaged, an epileptic who is terrified of physical warmth, perhaps for good reason. He repairs cars which are involved in frequent accidents in the area, often due to collisions with the local deer.

This leaves Shell alone to deal with the attentions of local loners when all she really wants is her dad. Perhaps too much.
