"If you hide from death, you hide from life." Teenage Emily (Harry Potter's Evanna Lynch) inherits this mantra from her father Robert (Michael Smiley, also at this year's Festival in The Lobster), an author and philosopher of sorts, whose lectures and writings encourage others to live for the moment at the expense of social niceties. But following the tragic death of Emily's mother, Robert starts to change, and his visionary eccentricities now appear to be symptoms of mental illness. Robert is soon institutionalized, and Emily is sent away to live with foster parents and attend a school where everyone dismisses her as a weirdo - everyone, that is, except Arden (George Webster), an awkward but endearing classmate with family problems of his own.
When Emily suddenly decides to travel north to bust her father out of his psychiatric hospital, the hopelessly smitten Arden joins her on a renegade road trip that will give both youngsters their first taste of what it truly means to be alive.

A beautiful Irish road movie that will give you exactly what you are expecting of it. Naturally, what you get is a journey through a beautiful landscape inhabited by melancholic and thoughtful people who tend to think a lot about life. On top of that, this was the first bigrole for Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter and that also influenced me in my review. Obviously for the better.
