When an amateur historian begins examining records from a former Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Co. Galway, she stumbles upon evidence pointing towards a deeply troubling past.

Catherine Corless (Monica Dolan) begins researching a former institution for unmarried mothers and their children in rural Ireland and uncovers a shocking hidden history of neglect and loss.

Faced with the deafening silence of church and state, she embarks on a campaign for justice, confronting deep wounds that continue to shape Ireland today.

"An elegy for lives unseen and unknown...a restrained but deeply affecting drama." - Guy Lodge, Variety
