God's Creatures

In a small remote Irish fishing village, Aileen (Watson) works as a shift manager at the local seafood processing plant alongside Mary (O'Dwyer), whose son Mark recently drowned at sea, and Sarah (Franciosi), a young woman experiencing marital troubles with her husband Francie (McCormack). At Mark's funeral reception, Aileen's estranged son Brian (Mescal) unexpectedly returns after a lengthy and unexplained move to Australia. While initially caught off-guard, Aileen is delighted to reunite her family together alongside husband Con (Conlon), daughter Erin (O'Rourke) with her newborn son, and elderly father-in-law Paddy (Roddy) who is in a vegetative state.
