Edge Of The World, The (Full Frame)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

On a remote island off the coast of Scotland, two families, the Mansons and Grays, are united by friendship and the romance between young Ruth and Andrew. Believing there is no future on the island, Ruth's brother Robbie plans to leave in spite of Andrew's objections. To settle their argument, the two men follow an ancient local tradition and race to the top of the island's 1,220-foot cliffs to see whose opinion should prevail, with an outcome which shatters the island's peace and splits the two clans apart. Shot entirely on the wild, windswept island of Foula in the Shetlands, "The Edge Of The World" is beautiful, thrilling and profoundly moving.
