The Silent Storm



Corinna McFarlane : 2014

On a remote Scottish island in the 1950s, Aislin lives with her minister husband Balor. He is a man of sudden and violent mood swings, and stern religiosity. Aislin finds consolation from his attitude of wrathful disapproval in the stark beauty of the surrounding countryside. With the other islanders leaving for the mainland in droves, the couple are joined by a Glaswegian youth, entrusted to their care by a religious charity. Balor is initially suspicious of him, but Aislin recognises a kindred spirit in this sensitive young man and their relationship deepens when her husband has to leave the island. Corinna McFarlane's feature debut premiered at London Film Festival 2014.
