The Outrun

In the organizer's words:

After more than a decade, Rona (Saoirse Ronan) returns to her home on the remote Orkney Islands. As she rediscovers the unique landscape in which she grew up, her childhood memories intermingle with the last, addiction-ridden time. Her departure for the city at the time and the subsequent dissolute years in London ended in a painful crash. But little by little, the encounter with the enchanted, windswept shores of the islands becomes a chance for a new life.

Nora Fingscheidt's adaptation of Amy Liptrot's autobiographical bestseller uses harrowing flashbacks to look at Rona's downward spiral in London and her time in a strict rehab program. At the center of the film, however, is her liberation from personal demons by connecting with the nature of her childhood home.
