    “Two families living on a remote island off the coast of Scotland, the Mansons and the Grays, are united by friendship and the romance between young Ruth and Andrew. Believing that there is no future living there, Ruth's brother Robbie plans to leave the island 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. The outcome shatters the island's peace and splits the two clans apart” [Milestone Films web]. Before his collaborations with Emeric Pressburger (BLACK NARCISSUS, THE RED SHOES), Michael Powell impressed the film world on both sides of the Atlantic with this stark drama shot on the windswept island of Foula in the Shetlands.
