A Dublin lesbian home care worker leaves her pregnant Ukrainian fiancée behind to travel to a remote village and assist an elderly woman suffering from agoraphobia. As their relationship develops, the worker becomes increasingly entangled in the old woman’s paranoia, rituals, and superstitions, ultimately confronting her own traumatic past. Rich with mythical references and folk imagery, this modern reinterpretation of a classic supernatural chiller artfully blends sophistication with horror, delivering a chilling yet elegant experience. The title, presented in Irish and reflective of much of the dialogue, is a shortened version of the original “Fremhacha,” meaning “roots.”
