This emotionally impactful drama, based on the history of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries and Claire Keegan's powerful novel, stars the astonishing Cillian Murphy as a coal merchant patriarch who uncovers devastating revelations at the local convent.

New Ross, 1985. While working as a coal merchant to support his family, Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) 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.

Led by a powerhouse central performance by Cillian Murphy, in his first big screen performance following his Oscar win for Oppenheimer, this extraordinarily powerful delving into the history of the Church in Ireland, and its profoundly tragic human impact, is a masterful adaptation of Claire Keegan’s 2021 novel.
