‘As An Eilean (From the Island)’ tells the story of Callum who is in his final year at school and preparing to go to University in Aberdeen. He receives tuition from Charles McAllister, a former Headmaster at the village school. McAllister is compiling a photo biography of the characters in the village. The wedding of the young village nurse is to form the centrepiece of this biography. The film traces the life of the village as recorded by McAllister, but seen through the eyes of young Callum.

Tha ‘Às An Eilean’ ag innse sgeul mu Chalum a tha sa bhliadhna mu dheireadh san sgoil agus ag ullachadh airson a dhol don Oilthigh ann an Obar Dheathain. Tha e a’ faighinn oideachadh bho Theàrlach MacAlasdair, a bha na cheannard air an sgoil sa bhaile. Tha MacAlasdair a’ cur ri chèile eachdraidh-beatha nan caractaran sa bhaile le cruinneachadh de dhealbhan. Is e dealbh bainnse na banaltraim òig sa bhaile a tha aig teis-meadhain na h-eachdraidh-beatha seo. Tha am film a’ leantainn na beatha làitheil sa bhaile mar a chaidh a chlàradh le MacAlasdair, ach air fhaicinn tro shùilean òga Chaluim.
