The Molly

Stories

Six short films from Mollyholmen, in the order of a stay, told by the people who will be there when you land. Turn the sound on to hear them.

  1. The jetty

    Follow the lights

    Seventy minutes on Lillemor, then the jetty. Someone will be there to meet the boat, and Odd will take the bags.

    Getting here

  2. The boardwalk, north shore

    The fourth light

    Ten cabins on one boardwalk, and a small lamp every four metres, so you can find yours in the dark.

    The rooms

  3. A Lantern Cabin

    One wall is the sea

    A whole gable of glass facing the Norwegian Sea, and a stove that is lit before you land.

    The Lantern Cabins

  4. A cabin deck, 23:40

    She watches the sky

    Molly watches the sky all night. When the aurora comes, she wakes you, but only if you asked her to.

    The island and its seasons

  5. Naust

    Whatever the boat brought

    Twenty-two seats, one menu, and whatever came off the boat that morning. In February, that is skrei.

    Table and sea

  6. The Lamp Room

    Eighty-four steps

    One room at the top of the lighthouse. No lift, so breakfast comes up by the dumbwaiter.

    The Lamp Room

Come when the weather does.
