A journey to a remote corner of Ireland, where an invisible border delineates a reserve that is both a refuge for life, and a beacon of environmental responsibility. A place where pagan beliefs share the magical landscape with traditional Catholic ceremonies. Where Ireland’s rare indigenous lizards walk across ancient fossils made by the first ever life to walk out of the sea. But, mostly, this is a place of refuge: from the first peoples that landed on its shore’s millennia ago, to the Ukrainian refugees escaping the war. Whether physically through experiences of blindness, or metaphysically through our relationships to death. This is a film about exploring what’s on the edge of our perception – what lies in the darkness. World premiere: Galway Film Fleadh 2024
