Nude

Uroboros
Diarmuid Donohoe
1950’s Ireland. Moira and her boyfriend Eamonn spend their glorious last Sunday at the lake. They are on the eve of leaving their small town lives for something bigger. A new life together in the city. Moira’s parents, staunchly religious and conservative to the bone, disapprove of Moira’s carefree attitude and ambitions. “She’s a handful”, her father decides. “She’s lost her bloody mind”. With that, and a mere doctor’s signature, Moira is committed to a mental hospital. The conditions of the hospital are inhumane. It’s a hellish nightmare.
Lamb
Sinéad O'Loughlin
An ordinary day takes a sinister turn for a woman and her child when a stranger walks into their isolated rural home.
