Small Things Like These (2024)

On Christmas Eve 1985, in a small Irish village, Bill Furlong, a coal merchant, struggles to support his wife and five daughters. One morning, he discovers dark secrets related to the local convent, secrets that the town, under the control of the Catholic Church, prefers to keep quiet. This discovery confronts him with his own past and revives a repressed trauma, leading him to face a moral dilemma he cannot ignore. Based on the novel Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan and starring Cillian Murphy, the story explores the dark reality of the Magdalene laundries in Ireland.
