Why we chose it

Oscar-nominated, tender adaptation of an acclaimed short story about a young girl who discovers a secret that will change her life. Impressive directorial debut from Ireland, which eschews the conventions of a coming-of-age film, and synchronizes the heart of the story with the pulse of the viewer.

Synopsis

Due to her mother’s pregnancy, Cáit, the young daughter of a large, poor family - a truly quiet girl, will spend the summer with distant relatives. Thanks to their care, she will slowly find her voice in the idyllic setting of the Irish countryside. But while there are supposed to be no secrets among the members of her new family, she will discover one.
