Caitriona Phadin dies and takes with her to the grave all the rage and hatred that had consumed her while living. But death has done little to assuage Catriona’s anger and in the graveyard clay of Connemara she reflects on her life’s disappointments. Based on the celebrated novel by Mairtin O Cadhain, Robert Quinn’s literate translation is a fiercely funny black comedy, wonderfully acted and beautifully shot.
