The FilmG 2014 theme was RÙN (roon) which translates to “love or affection”, “secret” (rùn-dìomhair) and “purpose or intention”. In film we asking what actually love is because this define how we take it up and how we live with it. Sometimes this is chemistry in ours brain, other times said or paper agreement in office or church and sometimes beleving in some higher values system, maybe in souls.If they exist love can be eternal or just temporary. Is a lot of secrets in this and intentions to involve in what we used to call ‘real love’. Maybe just the boy with the mantle knows the answer when he gave it to king wishing him women who can wear it as the only one which could be faithful to him.
Shortly about Scottish Gaelic from Wikipedia:
Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig, sometimes called Gaelic) is a Celtic language native to Scotland. A member of the Goidelic branch of the Celtic languages, Scottish Gaelic, like Modern Irish and Manx, developed out of Middle Irish, and thus descends ultimately from Old Irish.
The 2001 census of Scotland showed that a total of 58,652 (1.2% of the Scottish population aged over three years old) in Scotland could speak Gaelic at that time.
