Selected for Camerimage 2020 in Poland, Fastnet Film Festival 2021, HER International Film Festival 2021 & The Richard Harris International Film Festival 2021. Nominated for Emerging Director Awards 2022.
Meabh, a spirited fifteen year old, shields her two younger sisters, Lucy and Aine, from the ongoing neglect and abuse they are experiencing in their catholic children’s home by telling them transcendent Irish Fairy Tales.
Desperate to protect them, Meabh takes the blame for her sisters' rule breaking, resulting in severe punishment from the head nun Sister Joan. Fearful her sisters will be adopted off to another family without her, Meabh plots an escape to keep them together.
