Oscar® winner Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance as devoted father Bill Furlong in this film based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan. 

It is 1985 in the run-up to Christmas in a small town in County Wexford, Ireland. Bill Furlong (Murphy) toils as a coal merchant to support himself, his wife and his five daughters. 

Early one morning while out delivering coal, he discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent — and uncovers truths of his own — forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church. 

‘A deliberate film that uses small moments to examine one of the great questions of our time: how good people let bad things happen, and how we might push back against the dark.’ - Empire
