An award winner at Berlin 2022, this Irish tale follows a shy nine-year-old who has been separated from her immediate family and left in the care of two distant relatives for the summer. After sun-dappled days spent milking cows, peeling potatoes, and fetching water from the well, the initially uncommunicative child soon opens up to her foster parents.

Where to watch The Quiet Girl
Serene cinema at its finest. This unhurried Irish Gaelic tale of a shy girl from a rough home delivers riches of details when she's moved into loving foster care, like seeing joyful childhood memories being born in real-time. Warm, wise, and incredibly moving.
