Screening of Frank Berry's 2026 Irish drama about a woman's fight for justice over an institution for unmarried mothers in Tuam, rated 12A.
The Lost Children of Tuam is screening at Plymouth Arts Cinema from Friday 6 November to Thursday 12 November. It's a 2026 Irish-UK production directed by Frank Berry, running 84 minutes, and it's rated 12A.
Set in rural Ireland, the film follows Catherine Corless, an amateur historian who, while researching a former institution for unmarried mothers and their children in Tuam, Co. Galway, stumbles upon evidence of a deeply troubling past. Her painstaking investigation puts her in conflict with the Church, the State and the local town, exposing a hidden chapter of Ireland's past. Based on a true story, it's described as a deeply moving portrait of one woman's fight for justice, carried by a powerful performance from Monica Dolan. She stars alongside Ian McElhinney and Jonathan Heed.
There are six screenings across the week, so you've got a fair few options to choose from. It opens on Friday 6 November at 8:30pm, with a Saturday 7 November showing at 5:30pm. Tuesday 10 November is another evening slot at 8:30pm. Wednesday 11 November has two: a 2:30pm matinee with descriptive subtitles and a 6:00pm screening. It then closes on Thursday 12 November at 8:30pm.
