Rona (Saoirse Ronan) returns to her hometown in the Orkney Islands after completing rehab, unsure of her next steps as she rebuilds her life in sobriety. Based on Amy Liptrot’s memoirs, The Outrun follows Rona’s struggle to stay sober while living with her parents and searching for work and meaning. Through flashbacks, the film vividly portrays the chaos of her addiction—broken relationships, dangerous blackouts, and assault—offering a raw look at the isolation of both addiction and recovery.

The evening screening is subtitled for those with hearing loss.
