The scenario might not sound funny -- a recently widowed woman hopes her daughter will stay on at the farm after the funeral, not go back to the city and leave her alone -- but this short film manages to be touching, relatable on an emotional level, slightly shocking (though people can behave strangely when they're grieving), and at times hilarious.
Aisling O'Sullivan gives an understated but powerful performance as grieving widow Tina. Daithi O'Donnell is a wonderfully hapless hopeful suitor to Tina's daughter Jackie.
Áine Ryan's screenplay is so well written, and I look forward to seeing more of director Clara Planelles' work.
