Set shortly after the Great Famine in a small village in Ireland, eleven-year old Anna O’Donnell, a young girl, played by Kila Lord Cassidy, who stops eating but remains miraculously alive and well. Is the village harbouring a saint ‘surviving on manna from heaven’ or is something else going on? Florence Pugh plays the English nurse Lib Wright who is brought to a tiny village to observe the situation. William Byrne, played by Tom Burke is a journalist who grew up locally and is back to cover the story for the Daily Telegraph.

This screening is programmed by Films at Heart.

Films at Heart is run by a steering group of thirteen volunteers and is part of HEART, a not for profit community enterprise and arts centre in the centre of Headingley. On the second Wednesday of every month we show independent films up to two years old. These are chosen annually by the group and the public at trailer night - a free event,  where fifteen trailers are are shown and the following year’s films are decided by a vote.
