With his indelible directorial debut, screen icon Brian Cox presents a searing, finely wrought drama about the bonds and betrayals of family, anchored by Alan Cumming and Shirley Henderson.

Donal (Alan Cumming) reluctantly returns to the Scottish Highlands after 35 years in Chicago to make amends with his estranged older brother, Sandy (Brian Cox). Sandy needs Donal to take over the family’s whisky distillery or he will be forced to sell and give up on the family’s legacy. But their reunion forces the brothers to confront the past and the real reason Donal left Glenrothan.

Written by David Ashton (The Last King of Scotland) and Jeff Murphy (Hinterland), Glenrothan delves into the tangled bonds and quiet fractures of family, set against the proud yet endangered craft of producing some of the world’s finest whisky.
