Scannán - Foscadh - Film

Coláiste Pobail Chléire

Lonnaithe i gConamara an lae inniu, insíonn an fadscannán Foscadh scéal John Cunliffe, aonaránach dúramánta a gcuirtear brú gan choinne air teacht in aois fir nuair a chailltear a mhuintir. Agus luach a chuid talamh méadaithe go mór toisc é a bheith sa tslí ar fhorbairt fheirm muillte gaoithe, tagann cuairteoirí agus cúirtéirí chomh fada leis don chéad uair. Caithfidh sé idirdhealú a dhéanamh eatarthu siúd atá le trust agus an dream atá ag cur súil thar a gcuid.

FOSCADH | SHELTER

Set in contemporary Connemara, Foscadh is a feature film telling the story of gormless recluse John Cunliffe who is suddenly propelled into manhood at the ripe old age of 26. When his over-cosseting parents pass away, John inherits mountain land that is in the way of a lucrative wind-farm development and he is forced to navigate the choppy waters of courtship, trust and vengeance for the first time.
