Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy and Oscar-nominees Emily Watson and Ciarán Hinds star in this adaptation of Irish author Claire Keegan's novella. It is 1985 in the run-up to Christmas in a small town in County Wexford, Ireland. Bill Furlong toils as a coal merchant to support himself, his wife and his five daughters. Early one morning while out delivering coal at the local convent, he makes a discovery that forces him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a town controlled by the Catholic Church.
