Paternalism, inheritance and generational trauma circulate through the cultural prism of Ireland
Tale
A family of Irish shepherds are at war on many fronts: internal strife, family hostility, rivalry with another farmer.
Paul Mescal and Tom Burke were originally cast in the lead roles, but both ended up dropping out after the project stalled in development and were replaced by Barry Keoghan and Christopher

The entire cast does a fantastic job, but the standouts should be Nora-Jane Murphy, Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbot (whose accent is unreal for an American)
69TH CORK FILM FEST – #3 (PREMIERE + Q&A)A fast-paced revenge film that never has a dull moment that somehow manages to pull off the impossible, in my opinion.
Both of them do much more with their respective roles than anyone else
The themes of abuse, violence, and the inability to communicate properly are very much woven into this.
I’m really excited to see this one again when it comes out
They’re also very relevant in our world right now, so they really spoke to me.
