The Last Bus

“Returning to the past, he found his future.”

Tom (Timothy Spall) sets out from John O'Groats, at the far northern tip of Scotland, with his free bus pass and a plan to reach Land's End, in Cornwall, using only local buses. His wife Mary (Phyllis Logan) has just died, and he is carrying her ashes to the place where they were both born. Gillies MacKinnon cuts the long journey against memories of Young Tom (Ben Ewing) and Young Mary (Natalie Mitson), so the marriage rides along beside him.
