The three lights

A modern classic, a heartbreaking story about childhood, loss, and above all, love.

We are in the Irish countryside, in the heat of summer. A father takes his little girl to live with some relatives on their farm; the little girl doesn't know when, or even if, she will be taken back home. At the Kinsellas' home, she finds affection and warmth, things she had never felt before, and so slowly, living with them, the girl blossoms. In this new home, however, where everything is so carefully looked after, there is something that remains unspoken – and this summer will soon end.

The Oscar-nominated film adaptation of the book by Colm Bairéad, titled "The Quiet Girl,"
is available on the streaming platform Cinobo.
