Beauty Queen
Set in the Philippines during World War II, a young woman struggles to find purpose after losing her father. But does that mean the military?

A lonely Irish sheep farmer in her 60's forms an unlikely friendship with a young teenage Somali girl, living in the local refugee center in the village. What happens is not what you expect.

 

What our screening reviewers said: “What an incredibly lovely piece on so many levels of emotion. Promoting refugee issues, how it affects children. This was both truly lovely and heartbreaking! Plus, I learned about sheep.”
