An indie Scottish feature film, titled Raindance, is set to be filmed across Scotland by Edinburgh-born filmmaker Natalie Sutherland. Sutherland, who is also writing, producing, and starring in the film, describes it as a tribute to Scotland and the healing power of childhood wonder.
The narrative centers on sisters Fiona and Caitlyn Campbell, hailing from Fife, Scotland. After enduring a tumultuous childhood, they have become estranged, with Fiona living in America and Caitlyn remaining in Fife. Their mother's sudden death reunites them to handle her affairs.
Compelled by specific requests in their mother's will, the sisters must undertake a challenging road trip across Scotland to spread her ashes at predetermined locations, a condition for their inheritance. This journey evolves into an unexpected exploration of reconciliation, rediscovering their roots, and seeking forgiveness.
Raindance features an all-Scottish principal cast, including James Cosmo and Tony Curran, alongside Carina Birrell, who also serves as a producer with Amy Williams. The film aims to celebrate Scotland and the restorative magic of childhood beliefs.
