ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Simon Hunter's EDIE was praised by critics as "wholly uplifting." It follows an 83-year-old woman who sets off to rekindle fond memories of childhood by heading to Scotland to climb a mountain. In the title role, Sheila Hancock (THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS, CARRY ON CLEO) elevates the film an extraordinary place that will make audiences want to stand up and cheer.

SYNOPSIS

Following the death of her husband, Edie breaks free from years of his control and rebels against her daughter’s wish for her to move into assisted living by embarking on an adventure she and her father had always longed for: a trip to the Scottish Highlands to climb the world famous Mt. Suilven. Along the way, she hires young camping shop owner Jonny to be her guide. Despite the generational differences, Jonny encourages Edie to fulfill her dream.
