The trailer for the award-winning Irish comedy-drama Horseshoe has been released ahead of the film's arrival in cinemas on Friday 5 December.
Written by Adam O'Keeffe and directed by Edwin Mullane and O'Keeffe, Horseshoe stars Carolyn Bracken (Oddity, The Gone, You Are Not My Mother), Lalor Roddy (That They May Face the Rising Sun), John Connors (Cardboard Gangsters, Love/Hate), Mary Murray (Love/Hate), Jed Murray (Love/Hate), Neill Fleming (Kin), Eric O'Brien, and Caroline Harvey.
"In Horseshoe, four estranged siblings return to their crumbling family home in the west of Ireland after the death of their father," says the synopsis.
"As they attempt to navigate inheritance, grief, and long-buried grudges, their time together unearths far more than expected – including secrets that just might shatter what little bond remains between them."
Horseshoe won the Best Irish First Feature award at the recent Galway Film Fleadh and has gone on to acclaim at festivals in Europe and the US. A North American cinema release is planned for next year.
Horseshoe was made by WaveWalker Films and 3 Hot Whiskeys Films with support from Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, Sligo County Council, and Creative Heartlands.
"We've always loved films about families – there's so much drama, comedy, and tension to mine from those relationships, especially when people are forced back under one roof," said directors Mullane and O'Keeffe.
"The wild, haunting beauty of Sligo inspired so much of the tone and texture of Horseshoe – it's a landscape that holds memory and mystery, and we wanted to reflect that onscreen.
"Working with some of Ireland's best acting talent and an incredible crew made the whole experience an absolute joy, and we can't wait for audiences to experience it in their local cinemas – exactly where we believe it belongs, on the big screen."
