Irish Film Institute -The Three Urns

The Three Urns

Director: Stephen Warbeck,
John-Paul Davidson.


After years living in France, Mr O’Connor (Ciarán Hinds] sets out on a pilgrimage to his former home in Ireland after the death of his wife. Equal parts picturesque and picaresque, his journey is full of serendipitous encounters with a cohort of colourful characters including a Lithuanian painter, an itinerant priest, horse traders and horse whisperers, a Choctaw native commemorating the Great Famine, and a group of mystic women worshipping at the ancient Beltany Stone Circle.

Charming, joyful, and with a touch of whimsy, a funny and often moving look at reconnection and exploration.

World premiere: Dublin International Film Festival 23 February 2026
