Plot

John Cunliffe (Dónall Ó Héalai) is a 26-year-old recluse, coddled by his parents. When his parents pass away, John discovers that he has inherited land in the way of a proposed lucrative windfarm development. He finds also that he has to grow up fast: navigating friendships, romance and matters of trust for the first time.[2][3] Ó Héalai described his character as having been “sheltered all his life by his parents […] when he loses them, his story is him becoming an adult, and all that entails.”[4]

Production

Foscadh was filmed in late 2019, in Corr na Móna, County Galway[2] after having a grant of €400,000 from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.[1] It is scheduled for release in 2021.[3]
