Irish Spotlight

Róise & Frank

Grief-stricken Róise lost her husband, Frank, two years ago and is still struggling to get out of bed each morning. One day, an eager stray terrier (a star-making performance by Barley the Dog) turns up on her doorstep. And just won’t leave. This mysterious dog brings happiness to her life once more, curiously seeming to know things about her late husband – his favorite chair and the route of his morning walk. Róise comes to believe that the dog is Frank reincarnated. A warm-hearted, witty and hugely entertaining film from directors Peter Murphy and Rose Moriarty, it may bring a tear or two to the eyes of dog lovers. In Irish Gaelic with subtitles.
