The Outrun (2024)

Starring Saoirse Ronan (who you may remember from our screenings of Ladybird and Little Women), and based on the best-selling memoir by Amy Liptrot, The Outrun is set is an independent drama set in the otherworldly Orkney islands of Scotland.

A brutally honest tale of addiction and recovery, strength and survival, mental health and the ability of the sea, the land and of people to restore life and renew hope.

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.
