In the summer of 1981, nine-year-old Cáit is one of many siblings, living with her impoverished and neglectful parents in rural Ireland. We see that she is afraid in some way, hiding in her bedroom. We see her struggling at school, and being shamed when a cup of tea is spilled onto her lap, trying to hide it. With her mother pregnant again, it is decided to send their quiet daughter away to live with middle-aged distant cousin Eibhlín Cinnsealach (Kinsella) and her husband Seán.  Poco a poco, con el cuidado de los Kinsella, Cáit florece y descubre una nueva forma de vida. Pero en esta casa donde crece el afecto y se supone que no hay secretos, descubrirá una dolorosa verdad. Hermosa película sobre la infancia y su fragilidad.
