The Outrun | Official Trailer - Saoirse Ronan
After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona (Saoirse Ronan) returns home to the Orkney Islands. Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly the mystical land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea. Based on the bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot, who co-wrote the screenplay with Fingscheidt, THE OUTRUN is an acutely honest drama about addiction and recovery.

00:00Sometimes you can feel a vibration in Orkney, a low rumble that takes over the whole island
00:12and every part of your body, but there is only so much height any wave can sustain before
00:23it comes crashing down.
00:38The urge to drink can come out of nowhere, you think you're doing well, suddenly you
00:43want nothing more than a drink.
00:50How does London compare to Parby?
00:52A bit more going on, I guess.
00:56So how long do you think you'll stay here for?
01:01I have a life that I have to get back to.
01:03How's mum?
01:05She offered to put me into her prayers.
01:09I'm scared.
01:11I miss her.
01:13I miss how good it made me feel.
01:20So how long have you been sober?
01:3363 days.
01:34It never gets easy, it just gets less hard.
01:43My body is a continent.
01:45My breath pushes the clouds across the sky and the waves roll into the shore in time
01:54with my beating heart.
