Tarrac

An Irish-language drama starring Kelly Gough as a woman who returns home to help her father in his recovery from a heart attack, where she reacquaints with a group of all-female rowers who, against the odds, take on a high stakes Naomhóg rowing competition.

Set amid the stunning landscapes and seas of the Kerry Gaeltacht, Tarrac is an intimate character study of a woman who through a sporting passion finally manages acceptance and love, laced with humour, heartbreak and exciting action.

“This likeable, will-they-won’t-they underdog comedy about a group of female rowers in rural Kerry is a small triumph.” ~Cath Clarke, The Guardian

It engages from the very beginning, filling the screen with real, flawed, down-to-earth characters… Over and over, I found my breath caught by the composition and focus of what, in a lesser film, might have been shot as mundane, everyday.” ~Jane Fae, EyeForFilm
