Catherine Clinch stars here as Cait, a girl of about ten who is sent to live with an older childless couple in rural Ireland. The biological mother and father are unfit parents with a brood of children living in a filthy and unkempt house.
Mom is expecting another child to add to her flock and the foster couple grow more and more attached to the quiet girl.
Two thirds of the way in, a terrible secret is revealed and it only deepens the attachment of Cait and her guardians.
Most of the film is in Gaelic with a few portions in English. The subtitles work fine but some of those spoken in English were difficult to understand.
The scenery is beautiful and story a tear jerker. The pretty young actress is a scene stealer.
I expect an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Picture.
