Event details
After a difficult stint in rehab, and after more than a decade away from home, 29-year-old Rona has returned to the Orkney Islands, off the Northern tip of Scotland, where she grew up. She is trying her best to remain sober and find peace, reconnecting with her divorced parents: her dad, Andrew, a sheep farmer with his own mental health issues, and her mum, Annie, whose own traumas led her to find God. In this folkloric space, Rona's childhood memories mingle with flashbacks to her self-destructive life in London, and Rona struggles to move forward. And so, she moves to more and more remote corners of the wind-battered archipelago, like the migrating birds that she studies as a biologist. Harnessing the restorative power of nature, Rona fumbles, imperfectly and inspiringly, onward. Adapted from Scottish author Amy Liptrot's memoir about alcoholism and recovery, this is a contemplative and sensitive drama.
