Lou McLoughlan : 2015
When Uisdean returns home to nurse his dying father, he brings a dangerous mix of troubled past and big ambition into the lives of those that love him. After spending 16 years in prison, he attempts to re-build a normal life in his home village. Set in a remote, church-going village in the Scottish Highlands, the film explores themes of redemption, but the main focus is on the trusting relationships Uisdean builds with his father and girlfriend; both of whom are inspired by the 'new start' he promises to share with them. But is Uisdean able to change his destructive ways? Lou McLoughlan's feature documentary premiered in competition in the Regard Neuf section at Visions du Réel 2015, and had its UK premiere at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2015.
