Fresh out of rehab, Rona returns to the Orkney Islands—a place both wild and beautiful, right off the Scottish coast. Now 29 and after more than a decade of living life on the edge in London, where she both found and lost love, Rona attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her traumatic childhood merge with more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery.

ciddən nə vaxtsa havanı idarə edə bildiyini düşünməyən biri varsa, that is weird Even I controlled rain and clap of thunder

Sort of average when it comes to movies about recovery and I felt like Saoirse and the cinematographer were doing most of the heavy lifting here.

You know I'm no alcoholic or an addict whatsoever but spending months on some fuck all island somewhere in the grave cold north would do me so good.

The ending gave me vibes of that trend on tiktok where you would compare close up photos of nature with human body. Like leafs with skin, thunder with veins, galaxy with bruises etc.
