THE QUIET GIRL (AN CAILÍN CIÚIN)

In this compassionate and lyrical coming-of-age story set in rural Ireland in the 1980s, nine-year-old Ca´it lives in a dysfunctional home with her beleaguered mother and her cruel father. With her mother expecting yet another child, Ca´it is shipped off to live with her mother’s distant cousin, Eibhli´n, and her husband Sea´n. Ca´it’s new foster parents embrace - in their own ways - the wide-eyed, observant little girl, who soon comes to understand that behind their love, there is profound grief. Nominated for the Best International Feature Film at this year’s Academy Awards, Colm Baire´ad’s feature debut THE QUIET GIRL is a sensitive and sincere treasure. Continues at the Film Center with select showtimes starting March 10!
