Despite having a master's degree in biology, 29-year-old Rona is unable to find a job and, after numerous setbacks, has to admit to herself that she has an alcohol problem. She turns her back from big city life in London to find refuge in her homeland. On the Scottish Orkney Islands, she is confronted with the ghosts of her past, including the separation of her parents. Rona alternates between spending time with her devout mother at Bible study and her bipolar father, whom she actively supports during lambing season. Unprocessed traumas and relapses break over Rona like forces of nature. Born in Braunschweig and winner of the Heimspiel Award 2017, Nora Fingscheidt has sensitively adapted Amy Liptrot's autobiographical bestseller for the screen.
