THE OUTRUN Movie (2024) Trailer - Plot Synopsis: THE OUTRUN is a searingly honest drama about addiction, survival and the power of nature to restore life and renew hope, set in the wild northern Orkney islands. Directed by Nora Fingscheidt and adapted from the book written by Amy Liptrot.
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 beauty and lore of the 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.

00:02 >> Sometimes you can feel a vibration in Orkney,
00:06 a low rumble that takes over the whole island and every part of your body.
00:13 But there is only so much height any wave can
00:18 sustain before it comes crashing down.
00:23 >> I'm sorry.
00:30 >> I can't hear you say that again.
00:32 I wish you a completely different person.
00:35 >> The urge to drink can come out of nowhere.
00:38 You think you're doing well.
00:40 Suddenly, you want nothing more than a drink.
00:44 >> How does London compare to Parby?
00:49 >> A bit more going on, I guess.
00:52 [MUSIC]
00:56 >> So how long do you think you'll stay here for?
00:58 I have a life that I have to get back to.
01:00 >> How's mom?
01:02 >> She offered to put me into her prayers.
01:07 I'm scared. I miss it.
01:10 I miss how good it made me feel.
01:12 [MUSIC]
01:27 >> Hi.
01:28 >> So how long you been sober?
01:30 >> 63 days.
01:31 >> It never gets easy.
01:33 Just gets less hard.
01:35 >> My body is a continent.
01:42 My breath pushes the clouds across the sky.
01:45 [MUSIC]
01:48 And the waves roll into the shore in time with my beating heart.
