Rúbaí
Shorts in Competition: Narrative
| Ireland | 11 MINUTES | Irish | English subtitlesDrama, Female Director(s), Comedy
The First Holy Communion is fast approaching and eight-year-old Rúbaí flatly refuses to be a part of it. She’s an atheist and proud of it, but faces emotional blackmail, religious and philosophical debate, and overt intolerance in today’s supposedly diverse and modern Ireland.
