Rural Ireland. 1981. Nine-year-old Cait is sent away from her overcrowded, dysfunctional family to live with foster parents for the summer. Quietly struggling at school and at home, she has learned to hide in plain sight from those around her. She blossoms in their care, but in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one.
“An Cailín Ciúin [The Quiet Girl] is one of the most masterful meditations on childhood, family, and love.” (Emma Kiely, Collider)
“It’s an extraordinary, tiny, intimate, and deeply touching story of a childhood suddenly filled with that most fragile of gifts: hope.” (Richard Whittaker, The Austin Chronicle)
“This beautiful and compassionate film from first-time feature director Colm Bairéad, based on the novella Foster by Claire Keegan, is a child’s-eye look at our fallen world; already it feels to me like a classic.” (Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian)
