IT’S A MOVIE –
Nov. 7, 2024 – Rona’s story of addiction and recovery is closely linked to her familial relationships and her interactions with the wider Orkney community. Rona, who has become used to the freedom and self-expression of London life, frequently clashes with her devout Christian mother … who runs a farm on mainland Orkney. Although Rona gets along better with her father, his struggles with bipolar disorder cause problems between them. Through flashbacks to Rona’s childhood, it is clear that her father’s extreme manic and depressive episodes have profoundly affected her, and may have been a factor in her alcohol addiction. Even though Rona has fractured relationships with her parents, both of them attempt to support her through her recovery, showing that parental relationships are rarely black-and-white.
