Roise and Frank - ONE NIGHT ONLY - 6pm
Comedy-Drama, Ireland, 2022, 90 mins, PG, Gaelic (English subtitles)
It is two years since Roise lost the love of her life, her husband, Frank. She's still isolated in grief, which cuts her off from the local community.

So the arrival of a mysterious dog, who's intent on living with Roise, is puzzling. It's only after studying him that Roise realises the dog is her beloved Frank, reincarnated.

Freshly inspired, Roise goes about creating a new life for the two of them as her son worries that she's lost her mind.
