A moving and courageous journey through grief and recovery. After the death of her closest friend, a young woman sets out along Scotland’s West Highland Way, searching for healing in nature and strength within herself. As she walks, she begins to confront the challenges she has carried alone and finds her voice in the face of everyday misogyny and mental-health stigma.
Her pilgrimage leads to a powerful transformation — one that turns loss into purpose and sparks change for others.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Stephen Mulhearn.
In partnership with the Irish Film Institute
