The Incomer (12A)

Sat 12 Sep 2026, 11:15 ,Cinema 3

On an Orkney isle, siblings Isla and Sandy fend off outsiders and commune with mythical beings, until an awkward official arrives to relocate them.

The film follows the tiny island’s sole inhabitants, a pair of siblings living a stripped-back existence governed by superstition, ritual and rules no outsider is meant to understand.

Their isolated world is thrown into disarray by the arrival of a newcomer (Domhnall Gleeson), a mild-mannered land-recovery official whose tidy bureaucratic worldview is at odds with their deeply ritualistic way of life.

Writer-director Louis Paxton draws on his Orcadian family roots for this darkly comic, offbeat tale about belonging and folklore.
