We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

In a windswept fishing village, a mother is torn between protecting her beloved son and her own sense of right and wrong. A lie she tells for him rips apart their family and close-knit community in this tense, sweepingly emotional…
Most remarkably, the film is the feature debut of two American directors, Saela Davis and Anna Rose Holmer, who bring a laser-sharp outsider’s perspective to well-trodden material.
★★★★
There are no easy answers in this poetic meditation on the symbiosis between mothers and children, and man and nature, adapted by Shane Crowley and based on a story he wrote with Fodhla Cronin O’Reilly.
★★★★
Sometimes the best viewings are not the easily digestible ones. This is a movie that sucks you in, rattles you and then spits you out. It’s an experience that’s worth it.
