This was my favourite film of 2021 and I have been waiting for it to be released in North America. I saw it at the Toronto international film Festival and was so deeply moved by all of the characters and the situation. The film was shot entirely in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and that sense of isolation, mixed with the longing for community and belonging to someone, permeates this story of a man whose temporary amnesia allows an opportunity for a love to be fulfilled that was always lying dormant. Bouli Lanners (starring and directing) and Michelle Fairley bring a gentle quiet depth to these performances that won them the Best Actor and Best Actress of the Chicago International Film Festival. This is a film about forgetting what you knew, in order to discover what you've always known deep down. Enjoy!
