Old Mother Kunks

Rights sold: Latvian, Azerbaijani, Finnish, German, Japanese, Russian

Amid a windswept sea stands a lone, rocky islet. Apart from the birds, it is occupied by only a single soul – Old Mother Kunks, who is a bony woman with long, tousled hair and expert knowledge of medicinal herbs and witchcraft. One stormy day, Captain Trumm washes up on the frothy shore after surviving a shipwreck. Mother Kunks’ remedies soon make the man well again. Although the two sometimes argue because they’ve been accustomed to living alone, it’s as clear as day to both of them that being together on the island is much better than being all alone.
