A free film circle at Virum Kirke where the group watches the Irish drama Small Things Like These, set in 1980s Ireland. It follows coal merchant Bill Furlong, who discovers a young girl locked inside the local convent and must decide whether to stay silent to protect his family or confront the powerful mother superior.
The film is based on Claire Keegan's acclaimed novella and draws on the real history of Ireland's Magdalene laundries. With very little dialogue, it explores courage, fear and institutional oppression through strong images and performances. The evening is meant as a chance to talk afterwards, so come along curious and ready for conversation.
