What King of Devil's Island is
You land at Bastøy, a reform school on an island in Norway. Brutal cold and sadistic guards rule the lives of young boys. But a new arrival sparks a flame. The tragic death of one boy pushes the others to revolt. Holst draws out the stark beauty of a landscape that imprisons its youth.
