When Zucher arrived in this remotest corner of Scotland, he had to deal with local hostility not only to new technology, but also to Germans as during the First World War the Highlands and Islands had lost, per capita, the greatest number of soldiers in the British Isles.
In the film, matters are further complicated when the mistrusted foreigner falls in love with the beautiful local schoolteacher, Catherine MacKay.
The production was filmed on the island of Taransay (previously made famous by the BBC Reality TV show, Castaway).
