BFF26 The Three Urns
BFF26 The Three Urns
Australian premiere
Set along the beautiful and striking landscapes of the northwest coast of Donegal, Ireland, and starring Ciarán Hinds (Belfast), this is a delightful comedic drama from directors and co-writers John-Paul Davidson and Stephen Warbeck (The Man in The Hat).
Having lived in France for decades, Mr. O’Connor (Hinds) sets out on a pilgrimage to his home country to scatter his late wife's ashes. Inspired by a letter she wrote encouraging him to reconnect with his family, he travels to Ireland.
On his journey full of playful misadventures and serendipitous encounters, he stumbles upon a cohort of colourful characters, including a Lithuanian painter, an itinerant priest, horse whisperers, and a group of mystic women at the ancient Beltany Stone Circle. He visits his brother, who still runs the family dairy farm, whilst being followed by a mysterious Woman in Black (Olga Kurylenko, Quantum of Solace) in an electric car.
With Irish hospitality at its heart, The Three Urns is a warm, charming and funny look at reconnection and exploration.
