EditBilly & Molly: An Otter Love Story (2024)

In the Shetland Islands of Scotland, Billy shares his life with his wife Susan in a deserted house by the sea. Despite the endless beauty of the natural world around them and the faithful company of the couple’s dog, Billy is a melancholic man with a hole in his heart. But one day, a playful baby otter suddenly washes up on his jetty. He names the otter Molly. She ends up sticking around and the two end up becoming friends. It may sound too good (or maybe just too far out) to be true, but make no mistakes – this is one of those completely irresistible films that just wins you over. Breathtakingly beautiful, framed by the breathtaking Scottish cliffs and vast wastelands, but with scenes at otter level too, ‘Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story’ depicts how a friendship can change a man’s life forever, and how love can redirect our attention back to the beauty of nature.
