Between Us(2016)

It's more of an appetiser of a short film this. It invites us to consider what next rather than leave us with any definite plan or conclusion. Cian Ó Baoill is the young "Uinsionn" who lives in rural Ireland with his father "Mick" (John Keane). One day, he sets off for school wearing a skirt! Pretty quickly he discovers that this path to his true gender identity isn't going to go smoothly. His previously close friends prove to be predictably fickle - but has he misjudged his father? These two actors offer us quite intense performances here that challenge a few stereotypes and leave us caring what happens next.
