Mandagsfilmen: Small Things Like These

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan – author of the acclaimed Foster (The Quiet Girl)

A powerful Christmas tale filled with hope and meaning – about compassion and the strength of making a difference. Small Things Like These is a sweeping, critically acclaimed drama starring Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy. The film shines a light on the Catholic Church’s dark traditions and abuses of power against vulnerable young women – and the devastating fates that followed. It is adapted from the international bestseller by the author of Foster (The Quiet Girl).

Cillian Murphy delivers a deeply moving performance as Bill Furlong, a devoted father and hardworking coal merchant doing everything he can to provide for his family. On his daily rounds, he uncovers disturbing secrets hidden within the local convent – and unsettling truths about himself. These discoveries force him to confront not only his own past but also the silent complicity of a small Irish town ruled by the Catholic Church.

Do you want me to keep this close to the Norwegian wording, or should I make it read more like a festival/press kit synopsis (slightly more polished and promotional in tone)?

Every Monday at 6:00 PM, you can watch a quality film at Trondheim Kino, in collaboration with Kosmorama.
