An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl)

An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl), the heartbreaking debut feature from director Colm Bairéad, is set in rural Ireland during the early eighties. 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 a painful truth.

An Cailín Ciúin (The Quiet Girl), an chéad scannán ón stiúrthóir Colm Bairéad, atá lonnaithe faoin dtuath in Éirinn go luath sna hochtóidí. Seoltar cailín ciúin, a bhfuil faillí á déanamh uirthi, óna teaghlach plódaithe, mífheidhmiúil chun cónaí le tuismitheoirí altrama don samhradh. Bíonn sí faoi bhláth faoina gcúram, ach sa teach seo nach bhfuil rún ar bith ann, aimsíonn sí fírinne phianmhar.

“One of the most exquisitely realised films of the year…an accomplished work” The Observer
