Irish cinema has truly come of age in recent years, and Colm Bairead’s beautiful and moving coming-of-age drama is one the country’s most outstanding recent releases. It was a nominee at the BAFTAs earlier this year for Best Film Not In The English Language and Best Adapted Screenplay, and was also the first Irish language film ever to be nominated for the Oscars. Newcomer Catherine Clinch delivers an extraordinary performance as a shy and neglected young girl sent off by her feckless family to spend a long hot summer with distant relatives on a remote rural farm.
