A man arrives from London to the coast of Donegal to visit the house left
to him by his estranged aunt. But a road accident leaves him entangled with
a nihilistic local teenager and trapped in unfamiliar emotional territory,
as he struggles to understand an inheritance of trauma. Cosmo Jarvis (Calm
with Horses) gives a masterful brooding performance in director Antonia
Campbell-Hughes’ stylish exploration of the male death drive – pared down
to the bones in the punishing Irish landscape.
