In this adaptation of the best-selling, prize-winning memoir by Amy Liptrot, Saoirse Ronan stars as Rona, a young woman who returns to her remote home in the Orkney Islands after losing herself in London. Following Rona as she reconnects with her past, her parents and the atmospheric isolation of the islands on which she grew up, this is a raw but lyrical and uplifting story of recovery and redemption. Directed by Nora Fingscheidt.

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 beauty and lore of the land 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.t our website for more: https://www.studiocanal.co.uk
