Rona, fresh out of rehab, returns to the Orkney Islands; a wild and beautiful place off the Scottish coast. After more than a decade living on the edge in London, where she found and lost love, Rona – now 30 – 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.

Starring and produced by four time Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan (AMMONITE, CIFF 2020; LADYBIRD, CIFF 2017; BROOKLYN, CIFF 2015) and adapted from the bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot, THE OUTRUN is a life-affirming story about living on the edge, healing and what it means to return home. This is director Nora Fingscheidt’s (THE LICENSE, CIFF 2017) highly-anticipated follow-up to UNFORGIVABLE.
