The Quiet Girl (An Cailín Ciúin) – Global Roots Film Festival

The first Irish-language film to win the Irish Academy Award for best film.
This beautiful and compassionate jewel of a film, which already feels like a classic, is a child’s-eye look at our fallen world. Based on “Foster”, the acclaimed story by Irish author Claire Keegan, The Quiet Girl is an achingly beautiful film that beguiles and surprises at every turn. At once an elegy for a lost child and a beacon of hope for a future generation, it speaks of poverty, family, and the power of silence like few other films around these days.
