Adapted from Foster, a short story by Claire Keegan, it centres on nine-year-old C�it, a shy and withdrawn child who receives scant attention or affection from a family ruled by an uncaring patriarch. When she is sent to spend the summer with her aunt Eibhl�n (Carrie Crowley) and her husband Se�n (Andrew Bennett), she comes out of her shell, blossoming in their care, especially when Se�n�s initial aloofness fades. At the end of the summer, difficult decisions and realities must be faced.
