The Road Dance

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 devastating 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 a Hebridean Island environment in a deeply affecting account.
