  • Achoimre

    Newly evicted from their home and grieving the recent loss of their child, the destitute couple Min and Michael are faced with a desperate struggle for survival. When Michael accidently comes across some stolen money, his first instinct is to hand it over to the police. His wife sees the situation differently, however, and the couple find themselves confronted with a stark moral choice.
