Synopsis:
With a ready smile, eighty-year-old Donald Angus MacLean invites us to discover the truth about ghosts on the mysterious Isle of Skye. A man of the church and a lover of women, he takes us on a journey full of spectres, ghost cars, premonitions and the “second sight.” Cinematically, this is non-fiction noir with a Scottish twist. Rich in humour and the moving intimacies of life, Second Sight is a reflection on ghosts and mortality: a celebration of the last generation of a Scottish Gaelic oral tradition, extraordinary characters and storytellers we come to know and love.
