The Outrun (15)

In this adaptation of the best-selling, prize-winning memoir by Amy Liptrot, directed by Nora Fingscheidt, 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.
