“The kind of film that rarely gets made these days:
a big, sweeping melodrama that may unfold in the Outer Hebrides
but has its roots in 50s America and the films of Douglas Sirk.”
—The Guardian

ABOUT THE FILM:
In a small, remote village in the Outer Scottish Hebrides, Kirsty (Hermione Corfield) yearns for adventure and another life across the ocean. Though she finds comfort in time spent with her mother and younger sister, she sees hope and a future with Murdo (Will Fletcher), an intelligent, curious poet. The two fall in love as World War I looms, and Murdo is soon conscripted to join the other men of the village to fight. As a gesture of farewell, the village hosts a road dance, a celebration attended by every resident, but this sense of community is soon shattered by an unspeakable incident that changes Kirsty’s life forever. Sensitively adapted from John MacKay’s 2002 novel, this sweeping tale of adversity and resilience captures the attitudes of the time while offering a moving melodrama for audiences of any time period.

This movie sounds great. I think that looking back at WWI is an important
historical event. The thread of the movie is interesting. Stay in your seat when you
get to the road dance section!
