Can you imagine living solo on a tiny German island?

For some people, life on a remote island sounds like a dream come true, for others - a nightmare. We met a family doing just that in the north of Germany. Hallig Süderoog is located in a national park on the North Frisian Wadden Sea, and it has UNESCO-World-Heritage status. What kind of challenges does the family face? What do they do if they can't leave the island for weeks because of a storm? And why have they decided to live so differently?
