One of the most lauded Irish films in years, this touching Irish-language feature follows nineyear old Cáit who has been sent to spend the summer with distant relatives Eibhlín and Seán. Shy, withdrawn and sorely lacking in much needed affection, Cáit begins to blossom under the couple’s care, even coaxing aloof Seán away from the farm. As tragic family secrets emerge and the summer creeps to an end, difficult realities must be faced for this newfound family. Featuring a stunning debut performance from young Catherine Clinch.
