Culture Night 2026: An Cailín Ciúin
Irish (with English subtitles) | Ireland | 95 mins | 2022 | Cert: 12A | Dir: Colm Bairéad
Ireland 1981. Nine-year-old Cáit encounters the adversities of a life in poverty out in the countryside with a quiet retreat into her own world: She is a sensitive observer of the beauty of the small things around her. When she is sent from her overwhelmed, often emotionally cold extended family to an older, childless couple during the holidays, she experiences deep affection, perhaps for the first time ever. She blossoms in their care, but in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one.
