Foscadh (16)

94 mins - Ireland 2021 - Subtitles - Dir: Seán Breathnach
Starring: Dónall Ó Héalai, Fionnuala Flaherty and Cillian O'Gairbhi
 
Set in the wild mountains of Connemara, Foscadh tells the story of naïve recluse John Cunliffe who is suddenly propelled into manhood at the ripe old age of 28. When his overprotective parents pass away, friendless John inherits mountain land that is in the way of a lucrative wind-farm development, and he is forced to navigate the choppy waters of romance, trust and vengeance for the first time… The ensuing drama is a taut and absorbing late coming-of-age tale from the North-western tip of Europe.
