The Last House on Capel Street
In late 1940s Dublin, a widowed seamstress takes in a young woman who says very little about where she has come from, only that she needs work and a room for a few weeks. As the city begins to shift around them, small domestic arrangements, old loyalties and half-spoken histories start to press against the walls of the house.
