By the time we got to Papa Westray, there was a real contentment.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThis was at the tail end of COVID \u2014 we had all come out of multiple lockdowns \u2014 so to be able to reconnect with a smaller community, to be around friendly faces, we were grateful. All of that just very organically inspired the performance. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe shot in [Amy\u2019s] home, and we shot on her farm. We got to know her father, who still lives on the farm. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhen Stephen [Dillane] and I were shooting scenes between Amy and her dad, her dad was around, so that was quite a surreal experience. I think it was very helpful for the cast to be reminded that it is a real story, and that it belongs to real people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThe trailer gives fans a first look at Rona\u2019s journey to recovery as she returns to the Orkney Islands and slowly begins to link herself to the land.<\/p>\n
