the chilly north atlantic was a real culture shock. it rains $300.00 days a year in the farrows. at the height of summer temperature reaches just 12 degrees celsius. and in winter it's only light for a few hours each day. i know how it feels to me i know because the 1st time i had an fire and i thought there are no going to be no ifs or going to beat us in the far right so i was just like regretting that. i did fire i love ny and think well how can i make friends they don't understand my language i don't understand their language. antonette and the reagan 1st met on cyprus she was working in a hotel there and he was a guest on holiday for 2 years they wrote e-mails and phone one another then

antonette plucked up her courage and followed reagan to the pharaoh's a year after they married their daughter was born. on tonight's mother has come all the way from manila to the pharaoh's to meet her 24th grandchild. the whole family is looking forward to the baby's baptism but naturally she'll be wearing the national dress of the pharaohs. if it's right it's time to. say hello. how are you jim. the baptism has proved a bit of

a challenge for antonette there's one fair always custom she still struggles with yes she already had the name but the follow the through the fire while it's the secret we are not allowed to do. the only thing anyone. you're only allowed to say is already in the thirds and we are ready to give her and him being the prince when you get pregnant you already thinking of her name i do the same i was so annoyed because i can let you i feel like i can hear her name . but antonette has resigned herself to waiting until the baptism. in the meantime she makes the most of the few hours of sunshine. her husband rake in is a pharmacist. he spends most of his free time working on the house and torch on the

capital of the fair islands. the 1st time reagan told her where he lived until it had absolutely no idea what to expect. she'd never even heard of the barrow islands. i don't fire island their fire part of so i was thinking are you really. thinking of. all the stuff. where they said this part of denmark and i need to google. denmark. and looking very spiral i love it kind of crying then i go far i learn. in denmark of the end then i guess you know my going to try to go off how does the very well are away from denmark october. and even farther away from an internet home city of manila. the capital of the philippines boasts

some 13000000 residents barely 20000 live and her new hometown. the pharaohs comprise 18 islands made of fall cannick rock. some 50000 people call this european outpost home. but living on an island surrounded by a unspoiled nature can get lonely at times. especially for the men who far outnumber women on the faroes for years young women have been leaving the pharaohs to study and start a new life abroad the men left behind practice traditional professions and abide by traditional gender roles. at the port of tortious morton johana said sells his catch of the day. his father and grandfather were also fisherman it's tough work for the guys but that's not what's

fair always women are looking for the status. quo you know so i just fell. out that times of change well you knew him when i was young it was totally different but i spend a bit of spending today young women are mainly looking for excitement in the farrows doesn't have as much to offer them as denmark germany or france for example . morten son andreas is also a fisherman his generation in particular is affected by the shortage of women on the pharaohs on trances single but many of his friends have partners from southeast asia. to the north most of them about the often enough these days it's easy to find a beautiful young woman like you sit down on the computer click enter and they're right there on the floor and there's a big difference between welfare always one with a filipino you go all around in circles loaded she cooks cleans and does laundry

for him loves them. while many fair always women are leaving the islands philippinas are arriving and taking their place to hang lee thomas among them. she was one of the 1st filipino women to come to the fair and. my 1st day i was so tired jetlag and. dark. snow. i'm like when. i been seen so much name that time i didn't plan to stay here for just the tribal war but. for my. for 12 years bang lived her dream life she found love security and started a family. as the mother of 2 daughters she enjoyed her life on the remote

pharaohs. but when she discovered her husband was cheating on her on able to accept this she worked up the courage to separate from him since then why it hasn't been easy the house is so much memories thing again i just stay in the house so i just go for a drive i like driving alone. then i can be my life my locks now. if you know. the song. if you're in the army. bang wasn't prepared to give up the life she made for herself on the pharaohs. but she refused to stay with her husband purely for financial reasons so she's

found work to support herself and her children. i didn't regret anything mean being some changes i would do but i don't think that . if i did then i would. i i don't maybe there's something in to say. no i don't think that and it's good that i'm satisfied right now the. bank has only ever returned to the philippines wants with her daughters carina and johana not because bank considers the pharaoh's to be her home. she supports her parents in the philippines whenever she can. but never for a 2nd did she consider returning there after her separation.

i miss my parents but. i don't know. i don't miss. i think i'm here with my children my my children. by contrast and she doing digits instrument wanted nothing more than to leap the parents. like many paralysed women of her generation she headed for denmark as soon as she finished school. after attending university in roskilde she landed a job in copenhagen. it was more exciting than life in the faroes. that's why many young fair always women never return. though in she lewin has. out there still said life here can be very constraining compared to the big cities

it's completely different here so i just wanted to get away and leave it all behind me. that was the main reason why i left back there like everything was just too small but after a time i realize that no matter where i go the life here will always be a part of me. and. so when she was 24 and sheila and decided to return. she was homesick and long to raise a family on the ferry. 3 years ago she entered fair always has been tied to or moved back. not long afterwards their son when he was born. into law and is striving to be an independent and emancipated woman in this traditional society. so certainly. in the past it was a huge problem that the women left and didn't come back. back home. but

i think that things are slowly changing here that someone like me has returned to the islands in their mid twenty's is actually quite unusual. with a mother. of. 3 now she's on a mission into the one aims to become a role model for a new generation of self-confident they're always women. that's why she's running for parliament. she aims to make the pharaoh's a place women no longer feel the need to run away from a place with opportunities equal opportunities freedom may have leverage that are not obvious at lunch or at. 32 after being away for so long it was really important for me to return to the pharaoh's protonix voting here i realized i can make a bigger difference here than i could in copenhagen or elsewhere. i come from here

i know the place and i know how things work now i want to use that to change a few things on the items there we're not backwards we don't offer. her goal is to become the 1st woman under the age of $38.00 in the new parliament she says it's time to do away with all gender roles. today she's taking to the streets of the capital torsion to get her message out and you know when is the face of a new generation and a new era. you know what this is that she was was. the remote islands are starting to move with the times. this is a pharaoh pride parade held in torch on. not long ago such an event would have been unheard of here for angelou and the parade is an important sign that mindset search changes. yeah

yeah yeah it's a fabulous sign that so many people are here to show we don't want to go back to the last century we want the fairest to be an even more open and colorful country and. that's a great feeling it's fantastic yeah the. colorful we're and daughter. angela once hopes for a more diverse future aren't shared by all parents of people. and reagan's house things are more traditional. oh god the national holiday is just around the corner when antonette where the traditional dress for the 1st time. means a lot absolutely beautiful one thing that i've always felt that i was women better

than it was man. especially the foreign women and seeing my wife wearing those skulls so i you know i think for fell in love or again when i saw that for antonette the national dress is more than just a garment. i feel so proud there were so everybody. in this who could stand so i thought for in there i feel relates the way. you feel included. here where. it's very important for me. feeling you belong and are part of society. that was much tougher for the 1st filipinos who came to the pharaohs some 2 decades ago. i think they are used here and. we're not

anymore because we are a girl we. are around 200 filipinos now live on the pharaohs. they form the largest group of newcomers. many have also brought relatives or female friends to the islands. the filipino community here holds regular get togethers which are very important to internet. so good sometimes it's lonely not to have i believe you know. we are included in. the feel very. feel feel home to be with something. new is the same food that you miss. those kind of. the 3 nights to have a community. all of her girlfriends have fair always partners. today they've come

to me to answer that's new baby girl. i would love for you because i like the life. there if you did good libyans i will not feel safe or hurt the. night time i am not sure if you come back a lot of those kind of thing there in the far islands you can go anywhere and. the water is still out even if you don't look right because they know it's very safe. it's good. to raise if fire. meanwhile bang is raising her children on the pharaoh's without relying on a man's help. she's found work at a facility for children with disabilities today she's training a new colleague. ben has worked hard to get where she is today. she studied to

become a social educator at the university of the parent islands and was the only philippine a student and wrote there. it's very common for foreigners to work and. it's not necessary. but then i get my dream. big dreams that's why i haven't scored study. after separating from her husband being knows that marrying a fairly is man doesn't necessarily guarantee a secure future. so she's learned to stand on her own 2 feet it helped that she didn't just have friends in the filipino community but also mixed with the locals you can love being integrated if you don't know the language it's a child ends in a good thing for challenge because here i have to use the fairest language also in the right thing but they are very michael biggs yeah i really i just.

there's a step. forward i'm proud of where i am now who i am. it's the evening before the pharaoh he's national holiday bang has invited her colleagues to dinner they love the filipino dishes she prepares. you. they're going to bring the food they so good and i think it's so many where i think of things. i feel like i'm in favor of beads it's good that we are able to make it a bit more for you before it's so rare to find this but now you could if i saw initial story here you are either on or. after 12 years of marriage raising 2 children and separating from her husband bangs creating another life for

herself and her many years on the pharaohs have made her into a woman knows exactly what she wants to stay no longer feels she's just another filipino on the parents. she's become truly feral weeks herself. i haven't lived here before and. i want to grow all. the internet and rake in are getting ready for the national holiday. a special delicacy is on the menu whale meat. and naturally in the farrows slicing it is a man's job. even after spending 5 years in the farrows. that still finds some of the island's traditions hard to stomach.

so do their bit. for your. mom. and aunt and that still isn't entirely sure what they celebrate on the national holiday. they're celebrating st all while it's there we thank you. king or saint if you're going over a long way and this is that they will they will skip. so they are living right so you are celebrating when you were here yes this is that they won the by. the high end of july. or not serco which means st olaf suede is the most important day of the year in the fair us everyone comes out

to celebrate this national holiday. it's been a fair always tradition since the 13th century. was i. come. to you you come to or you oh you oh. oh and she was here to the before she felt obliged to attack but since her return to the pharaohs she's glad to come and she sees how the islands are changing. their day every day i ask you know just being here today is something special for. i came home specially for the national holiday everything in our 1st take up and now that i'm heading here again it's just different and it feels right i absolutely want to stay here. for it was. this is the 1st time mountain that has worn her fair always national dress and public. she's been waiting for this moment for days. after so happy and
