Event information
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.
The Outrun blends folklore into realism to make a recovery narrative that’s unique and fresh. The scenery is painted with the magnificent colours of nature and accented with Rona’s vivid hair changes – representing each stage of her journey. Flashbacks to her London past and the striking imagery of the Orkney Islands are juxtaposed against each other in a way that magnifies their differences. In London, humans are the initiators of drama, whereas on the islands it is nature that creates chaos.
Saoirse Ronan brings Amy Liptrot’s award-winning memoir to the screen in this ardently moving portrait of addiction recovery set in the majestic Orkney Islands of Scotland
