An unflinching and vivid adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s personal story of addiction, powered by an extraordinary central performance from Saoirse Ronan.
After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona (Saoirse Ronan) returns home to the Orkney Islands. Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery.
Slowly the mystical terrain enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea.
