My generation of Irish women came of age through inquiries and scandals. Many of these bore an individual's name: Savita Halappanavar, Ann Lovett, Miss X, Miss Y, Miss D.

There are some stories so horrifying that their details embed themselves in your flesh and haunt you for the rest of your days. The suffering of the women and babies is one such story.

Set in the 1980s, "Small Things Like These" focuses on Bill, whose business takes him to the local convent, where he realizes the women are trapped and miserable.
