Small Things Like These

Directed by Tim Mielants

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.  

Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance in Small Things Like These, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan.
