"In a world of noise — and noisy, jumbled films — this story of found family speaks loudest when saying nothing." - Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post
"I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film that conveyed with such vividness and precision the helplessness of childhood." - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rural Ireland, 1981. A quiet, neglected girl is sent away from her overcrowded, dysfunctional family to live with foster parents for the summer. She blossoms in their care, but in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one painful truth.
