iIsland is a story about a remote Adriatic island of Biševo where the last thirteen islanders are fighting to preserve their community. Their goal is to re-establish the town council, to help them become a legal entity, so that they can survive in the future. The main characters in the story are an elderly Ernest Hemingway look-alike Slovenian writer, who came to the island to write his last novel and a young couple: Lada, a yoga teacher and Lucijo, a cook, who are also the leading protagonists of the island movement. The main struggle is taking place over the former island school, which the islanders are trying to regain in order to revive the island community center. But, the local authorities and the tourist industry are planning to “digitalize” the island and convert the school into a multimedia touch-screen facility, where tourists would be able to examine Biševo merely in digital form.
