It is 1985 in the run-up to Christmas in a small town in County Wexford, Ireland. Bill Furlong (Oppenheimer's Cillian Murphy) toils as a coal merchant to support himself, his wife and his five daughters. Early one morning while out delivering coal at the local convent, he makes a discovery that forces him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a town controlled by the Catholic Church.
Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name by Claire Keegan.
