Director's bio
Nora Fingscheidt
Nora Fingscheidt, born on February 17, 1983, in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, Germany, is a talented German film director and screenwriter. Fingscheidt's career began with short films, including "Synkope" (2011), which was nominated for the German Short Film Prize. Her documentary "Without This World" (2017) won the Max Ophüls Prize. She gained international recognition with her feature film "System Crasher" (2019), which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and won several awards, including the Alfred Bauer Prize.

Synopsis
Fresh out of rehab, Rona returns to the Orkney Islands—a place both wild and beautiful, right off the Scottish coast. Now 29 and after more than a decade of living life on the edge in London, where she both found and lost love, Rona attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her traumatic childhood merge with more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery.
