See the films the platforms disagree about most →In a tightly-knit Irish town dominated by a local convent in the 1980s, a quiet and humble coal merchant makes a horrifying discovery while making a delivery. He uncovers evidence of the Magdalene Laundries' brutal practices. This discovery forces him into a moral quandary, weighing the safety of his own family against the crushing social pressure to remain silent and the courageous impulse to help the victims of a terrible injustice.
