Premiering two years ago at the London Film Festival, “The Silent Storm” has been on the shelf since, not screening at any other festivals, nor drawing any kind of buzz.

Written and directed by Corinna McFarlane, the story is set on a remote Scottish island where a troubled teen is sent to live with a pastor and his wife, upturning their ascetic life. It’s definitely not the sexiest of material, which may be why it’s taken so long to find the big screen, but it does look to feature two strong turns at the center of the movie.

“The Silent Storm” opens in the U.K. on May 20th. There’s no U.S. distributor or date just yet.
