Synopsis
Kathleen (Hazel Doupe – Say Nothing, Calm With Horses) is 18 and fresh out of foster care. Her departure coincides with the death of her biological mother and so she returns to her hometown to take ownership of her mother’s house. She gets a job and even a friend; but the emptiness of Kathleen’s life cannot be filled by social media and reality shows. Alone and desperate for a mother figure, she sets out on a destructive path to find one. What does the future hold when the past is all you've got? This is director Eva Birthistle’s debut feature. Well known in Ireland as an actor with outstanding roles in Sharon Horgan’s Bad Sisters, alongside Saoirse Ronan in Brooklyn, and right back to her debut on RTE’s Glenroe.
