Oscar winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) delivers another outstanding performance in this piercing drama that echoes the quiet tension and live emotion of Claire Keegan’s best-selling novella.
Ireland, 1985: In the months leading up to Christmas, coalman and family man Bill Furlong (Murphy) discovers startling secrets kept by the local convent. Deeply conflicted, Bill reaches a breaking point that forces him to confront both his own past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town under the control of the Catholic Church, led locally by Mother Superior Sister Mary (Emily Watson).
