Can you picture Littlefinger from "Game of Thrones" as a no-good uncle with a heart of gold? Aidan Gillen plays a convict who’s released early to care for his teenage niece. They move into a trailer in the Irish countryside and become the focus of a bitterswet dramedy that’s as provocative as its title. Filmmaker in attendance

After the death of her mother, teenager Stacy arrives at a secluded village in the Irish countryside to live with her uncle, who’s just been released from jail on a court order in order to care for his niece. Their first encounter is awkward, not to mention their cohabitation, but certain unexpected incidents, like shadows crawling in from the past, will bring them closer and closet together. A bittersweet dramedy that’s as provocative as its title, speaking to everyone’s need to find balance and get ahead in life. Young Lauren Kinsella is a revelation and Aidan Gillen, better known as Littlefinger from "Game of Thrones", is a real delight in a film that moved the entire Berlinale to tears when it premiered at Generation Plus.
