A love story set in Scotland and London that follows romance between Kira and Ian, who met too briefly over a winter weekend while on the run from themselves.
On the beautiful yet brutal Scottish Isle of Skye, German artist Kira (Aylin Tezel) is on a path of self-destruction. She is in the midst of a painful break up with Aidan (Rory Fleck Byrne) and finds herself drunk in a pub. As her night comes to a close, she enters the drunken orbit of fellow self-destructor Ian (Chris Fulton), who is doing his level best to ignore that he has a girlfriend back home in London. The 24 hours that they spend together have the feeling of a therapy session, as their chat and impromptu karaoke session help to slowly strip away their shields that prevent them from being attached. Returning to London they try to pursue their separate lives, but both have to face their past before they are ready to meet again. This is a hopeful film about closure finding beauty in the sadness of its characters, in the luscious landscape of Scotland, in the frenzy of London, and in how fate intervenes and intertwines around our relationships.
