Rona is on the run, so to speak: From the alcohol that promises her freedom and yet forces her to put herself in danger. And from the consequences of her drunkenness for herself and the people she loves. After rehab, she wants to finally find herself again for the last time and travels to the Scottish Orkney Islands where she grew up. With her family and in the great outdoors, she hopes to finally feel true freedom again. But this is more difficult than she expected, and so she takes a job with a bird protection organization, which demands great solitude from her - her biggest challenge since rehab.
In non-linear fashion we jump through stages in an alcoholic's recovery process, as she alternates between fighting her demons and making peace with them. Director Nora Fingscheidt ("System Crasher") teams up with Saorise Ronan in this adaptation of a true story that is as hard-hittingly realistic as it is meditatively beautiful.
