Synopsis
After living life on the edge in London, Rona attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. Hoping to heal, she returns to the wild beauty of Scotland's Orkney Islands where she grew up.
Nora Fingscheidt’s adaptation of Amy Liptot’s autobiographical bestseller uses harrowing flashbacks to depict Rona’s downward spiral in London and her time in a strict rehab programme. However, the focus of the film is on her liberation from personal demons through a connection with the nature of her childhood home.
