Sent away from her family for the summer to live with foster parents, Cáit learns what good family life could be like. However, even here she discovers there are secrets as she grows to love her new temporary life. Impossibly small and emotionally immense.

Mesmerising in its simplicity, a respite in a world of noise and chaos was this beautiful and deeply moving story of a place in this world found. Sometimes little said is all that’s needed, perhaps a lesson for us all. |

A gem - truly. Sensitively, unhurried. So glad nothing dark occurred - beautiful. |

Very emotional. Warming One is DAD one is A DAD. Healing for both girl and the foster family. They both learn a lot. Hopefully for a more positive future. |

Charming. Quiet. Many people lost opportunity of 'saying nothing' - good line. Emotional & pure. |

Wonderful! I'm wishing for a happy ending in the hope it will happen. Fingers crossed. Only downside I found the English difficult to follow at times! |

I'm sure there will be some soggy feedback forms tonight. Superb, so moving. Can we hope she was happy at last? |

Could have done with some subtitles at the beginning but the fact everyone around me was in tears at the end says it all. |

Very beautiful film! Says it all, family life in a deprived area. We are lucky! |

This film is so poignant - we all wanted her to have a happy ending but reality was fast approaching. Sweet, bitter, sweet, sad, loving. |

Loved it, very emotional and I don't think there was a dry eye in the entire audience. |

Beautiful cinematography. Issue of nature & nurture - best parenting explored powerfully - hope though for child. Irish language added depth to the film. |

A very touching, poignant film. Too many people have indeed missed the opportunity to say nothing in life, at times, and lost much by it! Love and loss, kindness and understanding. All this stuff of life but agony too. Well chosen selectors! |

|
A beautifully made film - extremely moving. Very sensitively written. Excellent acting especially from the child. What some children go through often without means of expression or the ability to change their lives. |

Tense and touching. Did not want that ending. |

Deeply emotional, understated - but I kept expecting a tragedy. So glad there was none! |

So much not said but keenly felt! I liked the open end. A lot to think about. Great performance of the 'quiet girl'. |
