A documentary about The Faroe Islands' relationship to Denmark and the negotiations about further Faroese self-government.

In 1993, the Faroe Islands faced one of the most dramatic and under-reported financial collapses in Nordic history. After years of rapid growth, the country’s two largest banks failed, triggering mass bankruptcies, evictions, and emigration.

Under intense pressure, she negotiated with Denmark, managed deep internal party rifts, and made decisions that saved the nation but cost her everything.

The series looks at the Faroe Islands and Faroese people from a slightly different, and perhaps a little more humorous, perspective than usual.

We also meet the grumpy Sofus, the lonely Niels, the gay Kjartan, the chic Remi and Rosely, the smooth reporters Olgar and Randi, and many, many others. It's expected that most people will recognize themselves in some of these characters who, in one way or another, shape the Faroe Islands of 2008.
