After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona 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 mystical 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.

"Saoirse Ronan is outstanding in this painful, involving addiction-recovery drama, directed by Nora Fingscheidt and adapted by Fingscheidt and Amy Liptrot from Liptrot’s own 2017 memoir of the same title." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Saoirse Ronan has made it apparent that she is one of the greatest actresses of her generation. Nominated for four Oscars before she was out of her mid-20s, the Irish actress is the sort of performer whose presence in a movie is sufficient reason to see it." The New York Times
