Cillian Murphy shares Small Things Like These trailer

The trailer for the Cillian Murphy-starring Claire Keegan adaptation Small Things Like These has been released ahead of the film's arrival in Irish cinemas in November.

Based on Keegan's bestseller of the same name, Small Things Like These received its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, where Murphy's co-star Emily Watson won the award for Best Supporting Performance.

Set in an Irish town at Christmas 1985, Small Things Like These follows fuel merchant Bill Furlong (Murphy) as he discovers secrets about his homeplace and his own life. It was filmed in Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin last year.
