We’re delighted to be able to put on special preview screenings of this drama before it goes on general release.

Former best friends and roommates Chris and Lluis meet up to walk the West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail. Having made the 350-mile walk in their youth, they hope that walking amongst the majestic beauty of the Highlands will rekindle their once-strong friendship.

But Chris is preoccupied with his work and life back home, while Lluis is more interested in proving he can still complete the trail. Amidst the sweeping landscapes, harsh weather, and encounters with other hikers, the silence of the trek forces the pair to confront truths about themselves and their friendship.

Shot on location, this drama is the definitive hiking film, and a poignant and beautiful ode to friendship and the healing power of nature.
