The Quiet Girl

Colm Bairéad | Ireland | 2022 | 96 min | Irish Gaelic, English | e.s.

The director´s debut feature. A silent movie on many levels. In rural Ireland in 1981, people live and work mostly in silence. Beneath the surface there are all kinds of soul stirrings that are suppressed as much as possible. This is the background against which 9-year-old Cáit grows up. In a large chaotic family, poor, desperate, with neglectful parents.

Because her mother is about to give birth, she is allowed to spend the summer with a distant relative. Cáit experiences a completely different and loving environment in silence. But her presence also has a growing influence on her aunt and uncle. A beautifully crafted movie. A small story with great emotional impact, delicate and fragile like the taciturn Cáit.
