[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

After an absence of more than ten years, Rona returns to her home on the remo­te Orkney Islands in Scotland. As she redis­co­vers the uni­que, wild land­scape in which she grew up, her child­hood memo­ries ming­le with tho­se from her more recent times as an addict. Her depar­tu­re for the city and sub­se­quent dis­so­lu­te years in London resul­ted in a pain­ful fall. But litt­le by litt­le, her encoun­ter with the enchan­ted, wind-bat­te­red coasts of the islands beco­mes a chan­ce for a new life.
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.
