Synopse

Her son Bull has committed a serious crime and Iona flees with him to the island where she grew up. Not everyone in the devoutly Christian community is happy about her return, as back then she had abandoned not only her home but also her faith. Iona is equally unenthusiastic. She and Bull nevertheless begin to integrate into island life. But his crime will not leave the boy alone and he longs for forgiveness. The past catches up with Iona too. Iona is a moving family drama, with sparse dialogue, but with gestures, looks and atmosphere that speak volumes.
