🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a social conflict by pitting the cold logic of profit against the deep-rooted ties of community to the land. It explores the mechanisms of coercion and the quiet dignity of resistance, where every eviction notice carries the weight of a personal tragedy.
What lingers after viewing is a sobering reflection on displacement and the price of progress, framed by the enduring struggle for home. The moral landscape here is as stark and telling as the Irish countryside itself. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Fred O'Donovan

Watch attentively, allowing the slow burn of the agrarian conflict and its moral stakes to fully unfold.
