FILM / EVENT DETAIL

The Incomer - Final Shows

Looking for something a little different?

Set on a remote Scottish island, The Incomer follows siblings Isla and Sandy, who have spent decades living apart from the modern world, hunting seabirds, telling stories of their ancestors and keeping watch for dreaded "incomers" from the mainland. Their unusual way of life is disrupted by the arrival of Daniel, an awkward council worker sent to relocate them, setting in motion a funny, touching and unexpectedly magical adventure.

Part comedy, part modern fairy tale and part heartfelt character drama, The Incomer celebrates community, belonging and the importance of human connection. With stunning Scottish landscapes and a wonderfully eccentric cast led by Domhnall Gleeson, it’s the sort of film that quietly works its way into your heart.

If you enjoyed Local Hero, The Banshees of Inisherin, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, The Full Monty or The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, I think you’ll find plenty to love here.
