Bríd Ní Neachtain stars as the recently widowed Róise, who believes that a stray dog embodies the spirit of her late husband Frank. Isolated since his death two years ago, the appearance of the dog shakes her out of herself. Ignoring her son’s and others’ protests, a rejuvenated Róise goes all out to indulge the dog’s love of hurling, steak, and a favourite chair, while starting to believe in reincarnation. This is a warm-hearted, witty and uplifting tale of finding hope in the darkest of places.

Tá Róise fós faoi bhrón ag bás tobann a fear chéile, Frank, dhá bhliain ó shin. Tagann madra mistéireach chuig a teach lá amháin, agus tar éis tamaill tugann sí faoi deara gurb é Frank atá tagtha ar ais chuici, ach i bhfoirm madra. D’fhill sé le bheith i gcomhluadar leis a ghrágeal, Róise; agus chun an fhoireann iománaíochta faoi 13 a thraenáil. Glacann formhór na ndaoine leis an madra seo agus leis an smaoineamh gur ‘Frank’ atá ann, ach tá roinnt daoine nach aontaíonn leo. Is scéal grá é Róise & Frank atá suite i nGaeltacht na Rinne i gContae Phort Láirge.
