The Quiet Girl, (2022)

Ireland, Gaelic 

This is rural Ireland. 1981. It’s about an introverted Irish girl who spends a life-changing summer away from her troubled home and learns some poignant lessons about grief and family love. Nine-year-old Cait lives with her overcrowded, dysfunctional family. Quietly struggling at school and at home, she has learned to hide in plain sight from those around her. She is sent away for the summer to live with foster parents. She blossoms in their care. She discovers that when a cookie is set on the table in an insert shot, it is not just a cookie. It is a stealth symbol. It is everything. This film allows you to think and feel instead of just watch.
