Shell is a powerful and poignant drama that tells the story of a young woman trapped in a life she never chose. Abandoned by her mother and left to care for her dying father, Shell's world is limited to the desolate landscape of the Scottish Highlands. She spends her days running the family's decaying petrol station and her nights alone in her bedroom, dreaming of a life beyond the horizon. When a charming salesman stops by one day, Shell is offered a glimpse of a different world, and she must decide whether to take a chance on a new life or remain trapped in her lonely existence. With stunning cinematography and a standout performance from its young lead actress, Shell is a moving and unforgettable film experience.
