Set in 1980s Ireland, this ensemble piece delves into the lives of individuals rooted in a stifling landscape, echoing Chekhovian themes of longing. The narrative follows a woman seeking faith from a fairy well to mend her husband’s faithlessness and a defrocked priest returning to reclaim his childhood farm. Characters, including the vulnerable Billie and the stoic Stephen, struggle with personal and familial conflicts, while the atmosphere blends ancient magic with contemporary struggles. The emotional depth captures the nuances of relationships amid longing and the impact of choices across generations.
Rosie Sheehy as Billie, a vulnerable autistic character, delivers devastating truths yet struggles with self-sabotage in a narrative filled with longing for connection.
The ensemble cast adeptly portrays discontented souls in rural Sligo, grappling with love and inheritance amidst a backdrop of ancient magic and institutionalized religion.
