Haunted by a personal tragedy, home care worker, Shoo, is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman who fears the neighbours as much as she fears the Na Sídhe – sinister entities who she believes abducted her decades before. As the two develop a strangely deep connection, Shoo is consumed by the old woman’s paranoia, rituals, and superstitions, eventually confronting the horrors from her own past.

It’s the week before Halloween and Char’s mother, Angela, has inexplicably disappeared. All that remains is her abandoned car. When she returns home without explanation the following evening, it becomes clear to Char and her grandmother, Rita, that something is amiss. She might look and sound the same but Angela’s behaviour has become increasingly frightening, as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force. When Halloween arrives, a night steeped in ancient myth and legend, Char realises that she is the only one who can save her, even if it means potentially losing her forever.

Music by DIE HEXEN (Additional Music by Ruth Bate)
“An intimate portrait of a network of underground telephone helplines established by a small community of Irish lesbians in 1979.”
At a time when homosexuality faced intense social and legal hostility in Ireland, a group of women created a lifeline for those experiencing isolation, abuse and profound loneliness. Every call was logged as handwritten notes, kept through decades of constitutional change as women fought for their rights in an oppressive and conservative society. Lesbian Lines brings together an ensemble cast of original helpline volunteers and actors to breathe life into this rich, undocumented history, weaving collective memories into a moving and joyful new archive. Blending dramatised sequences with archival material, it is a story of community, connection and the transformative power of listening.
