Film Overview

A daring and complex heist in reverse chronological order as three Irish women set out to rob an Irish credit union, only for everything to collapse. Co-starring Carrie Crowley (“The Quiet Girl”) and Bríd Brennan (“My Sailor, My Love”—CIFF47).Three unlikely thieves, led by a woman on the verge of a breakdown, rob a rural Irish Credit Union. Opening in the tragic aftermath of the heist-gone-wrong, Aontas unfolds backward, chapter by chapter to unravel the events that led to this point. What starts as a poorly executed robbery becomes a portrait of a willful woman trapped in her own past, dragging everyone else down with her. With a backwards narrative structure, Aontas is a fractured puzzle about the impact of our choices and the memories we can’t escape.Content Warning: This film contains material that may be difficult for some viewers.
