Two brothers following a violent exchange with their father on the day of their mother's funeral, the younger of the two left their Highland home for America. After forty years they reunite in the land of their birth.
This is a story of family, forgiveness and the possibility of healing. Set in the Scottish Highlands, Sandy (Brian Cox) runs the family distillery in Glenrothan, and he writes to his brother Donal (Alan Cumming) to tell him that his health is worsening, and it would be nice to see him after a forty-year absence. Donal does visit but is gradually reminded of the reasons why he left as Sandy tries to reconnect with him, encountering resistance at every turn. This is Brian Cox’s first film as a director, where he has delivered a family comedy drama with magnificent Highland scenery, and will leave you savouring a single-malt whisky.
