Róise & Frank
He said he'd come back. He didn't say how.
Directed by Peter Murphy, Rachael Moriarty
Produced by Macalla Teoranta, Cine4
A warmly whimsical story about grief, healing, and the possibility of love transcending death, told through the fantastical lens of a dog who may be a reincarnated husband.
Grief stricken Róise lost her husband, Frank, two years ago. Her son, Alan, worries about her but the arrival of a mysterious dog seems to bring happiness to her life once more. Róise soon comes to believe that the dog is, in fact, Frank reincarnated. He has come back to be with her again… and to coach the local sports team…
