Based on the short story "The Third Light" by Claire Keegan, Colm Bairèad tells the story of young Caít and a summer full of hope.
9-year-old Cáit is taken to live with distant relatives in the country. The taciturn girl is to spend the summer there without being a burden on her parents. She moves into the well-kept country house with only the clothes she is wearing. She does not know when or if she will return home. In the care of her foster family, Cáit slowly blossoms and discovers a whole new life. But even in this house, where there could be something like love for her, there is a silence that feeds on the quiet but constant pain of its inhabitants. In the midst of this barren, beautiful Irish landscape lies a hidden secret, which Cáit sets out to discover with newfound courage and trust.
