SFIF Festival 2026: Báite Directed by Ruán Magan

September 1975. Summer is coming to an end. Peggy Casey (Eleanor O'Brien) prepares for a big weekend of fishing. Her pub will be full to the door, and she desperately needs the business. It has been a few months since it rained and, as a result, the water level is extremely low. When a body is found in the receding waters of a lake, the discovery is big news in the local. Detective Sergeant Frank Ryan (Moe Dunford) is sent from Dublin, and what he discovers sheds a disturbing insight into the history of the valley, and the difficult relationships that bind Peggy and the three older members of her family. Over the course of his investigation, Detective Ryan not only reveals the terrible truth behind the dead woman’s story, but also the deepest secrets of the Casey family.
