Kirsty (Hermione Corfield, The Halcyon), a beautiful young woman, is coveted by all the young men of her island village in the Outer Scottish Hebrides. Dreaming of America, she meets a man who shares her aspirations and promises to make them a reality. As the Great War breaks out it is decided that the men must leave for battle and in their honour, the islanders organise a grand Road Dance. That night Kirsty is assaulted and left with a secret which her overzealous community renounces, and she is faced with a life-changing decision. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by John Mackay, this faithful adaptation is anchored by two stunning central performances courtesy of Corfield and Will Fletcher (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power). The gorgeous cinematography captures the isolated atmosphere of Hebridean island environment in a deeply affecting account.
