She is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman, who fears both the neighbours and the Na Sídhe – sinister folkloric entities that she believes abducted her decades before. As the pair develop a deep connection, Shoo becomes consumed by the old woman’s paranoia, rituals and superstitions, eventually confronting the horrors from her own past.

Clarke herself described the story as “an original take on Irish folklore and contemporary Ireland, exploring the tension that exists between past and present, the personal and the public”.

It is funded through the Cine4 scheme, and is backed by Screen Ireland, TG4, Coimisiún na Meán (formerly known as the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland) and the Section 481, Ireland’s national tax incentive. New Europe Film Sales manages the world rights of the feature.
