Kirsty Macleod (Hermione Corfield) dreams of a better life away from the isolation in a small village on an island in the Outer Scottish Hebrides. Suppressing these aspirations, she sees her lover Murdo (Will Fletcher) drafted for service in World War I. Soon to set off and fight alongside the other young men from the village, a road dance is held in their honor the evening before they depart. It’s on this fateful evening that Kirsty’s life takes a dramatic and tragic turn.

“…elevated by two stunning central performances courtesy of Corfield and Fletcher, while Petra Korner’s stunning cinematography gorgeously captures the arid solitude of Hebridean landscape.”  — The Jewish Chronicle

Photographed in the old-fashioned pre-wide-screen 3 x 4 ratio, the film is simple but, in its small way, quite memorable.”  — The Australian
