THE ROAD DANCE | Official US Trailer | Music Box Films

Coming soon to select theaters and on-demand.

In a small, remote village in the Outer Scottish Hebrides, Kirsty (Hermione Corfield) yearns for adventure and another life across the ocean. Though she finds comfort in time spent with her mother and younger sister, she sees hope and a future with Murdo (Will Fletcher), an intelligent, curious poet. The two fall in love as World War I looms, and Murdo is soon conscripted to join the other men of the village to fight. As a gesture of farewell, the village hosts a road dance, a celebration attended by every resident, but this sense of community is soon shattered by an unspeakable incident that changes Kirsty’s life forever. Sensitively adapted from John MacKay’s 2002 novel, this sweeping tale of adversity and resilience captures the attitudes of the time while offering a moving melodrama for audiences of any time period. Directed by Richie Adams

“the kind of film that rarely gets made these days: a big, sweeping melodrama that may unfold in the Outer Hebrides but has its roots in 50s America and the films of Douglas Sirk.”

I saw the film. It was superb, but in the nicest way I never want to watch it again. I'm not someone for crying at films, but this was something else. Well done to everyone who helped make it.

This film was heartbreaking but incredibly romantic.
