Chris is a young heroine from a rural Scottish community, with an intense passion for life and a loyalty to the often unforgiving land, who has given her heart to the unsettled Ewan.
With a dysfunctional family, who have already faced dark times, Chris choses to devote herself to the land as World War One begins changing the world around her. But when Ewan decides to enlist in the army, Chris faces greater hardships than ever before as her once happy marriage crumbles.
As all seems lost Chris, a woman of remarkable strength, is able to draw from the ancient land at look to the future, even if the modern world is threatening everything she holds dear.
From director Terence Davies and based on the novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Sunset Song is a gritty, poetic drama which is both emotional and deeply romantic at its core. Agyness Deyn leads the cast as the young heroine, while Kevin Guthrie and Peter Mullan also star.
