Year: 2017
Country:
UNITED KINGDOM
Run Time:
102 minutes
As a young girl, Edie was an adventurous free spirit, spending most of her time exploring the outdoors with her father. She envisioned herself living a life full of experiences… but everything changed when she married George. Even before his blood clot, George’s controlling and abusive behavior prevented Edie from living her life. After the clot, when he could no longer walk or speak, Edie sacrificed everything to care for him until his death. Now at 84 years old, full of regret and longing, Edie strives to reclaim her independence. Inspired by the memories of her father, she ventures into the Scottish Highlands to climb Mount Suilven on her own, making herself vulnerable in pursuit of her dreams. As she navigates the difficulties and dangers that come with attempting such a feat, Edie will discover just how strong she really is. A memorable and refreshing story, EDIE moves far beyond the stereotypes and caricatures that often plague older characters. Brave and beautiful Edie authenticates the idea that it is never too late to be true to yourself. —G.S.
