The Quiet Girl (An Cailín Ciúin) is the understated and enchanting debut from Irish director Colm Bairéad. The film tells a universal story about finding your own place, seen through the eyes of the young Cáit. Both the Irish language and the beautiful landscape color her world. Ireland 1981. With another child on the way, there is not enough room for the young, introverted Cáit (Catherine Clinch) with her parents. She is sent to live with relatives in the countryside for the summer, where she is lovingly cared for by Aunt Eibhlín (Carrie Crowley). Cáit's dour uncle Seán (Andrew Bennett) has more trouble with her presence. Gradually, Cáit discovers that there are also secrets in this house. Yet she blooms open, but every summer comes to an end.
