Young gifted Donegal fiddle player Shóna is tired of her talent. When a troupe of wandering musicians offer her the chance to break out of her confines and escape her oppressive mother, she runs off, along with her little brother, on a cross-country journey of adventure, romance, and musical exploration.
Winning the audience award at last year’s Galway Film Fleadh, Trad is a lively coming-of-age comedy drama that’s also a joyful celebration of the power of trad music and communal performance. Featuring a star making performance from fiddle player Megan Nic Fhionnghiale, Trad is a delight featuring some of the most invigorating trad sessions ever put to screen.
★★★★★ “One of the most enjoyable movies released so far this year, Irish or otherwise… The music, via a number of jams and sessions, is toe-tappingly brilliant.” - Declan Burke, Irish Examiner
“Ultimately what sells Trad are the music sequences… Few recent fiction films have thumped along so convincingly to the louder beats of the traditional form.” - Donald Clarke, The Irish Times
