Every summer, 18-year-old Birta and 16-year-old Selma rescue pufflings (young puffins) at night on a remote island off the coast of Iceland. The pufflings leave their nests for the first time, following the moon's light to journey out to sea and transition into adulthood. Unfortunately, the pufflings get lost in town, mistaking the harbor lights for the moon. Over one night, Birta and Selma take it upon themselves to counteract the human impact on nature, exchanging night-time parties for puffin patrol in a coming-of-age story of young adults and pufflings alike. A documentary about growing up and making choices, worrying about the future, and dealing with encroaching environmental pressures. Puffling demonstrates the direct interplay between nature, the environment, and human life, exploring the importance of younger generations taking action on global environmental issues.
