A new UK trailer and poster have been released for the Irish drama Wildfire that follows two sisters who grew up on the fractious Irish border. When one of them, who has been missing, finally returns home, the intense bond with her sister is re-ignited. Together they will unearth the truth about their mother’s past, but uncovered secrets and resentments which have been buried deep, threaten to overwhelm them. Wildfire stars Nika McGuigan and Nora-Jane Noone as the sisters.
The film was written and directed by Irish filmmaker Cathy Brady, in her feature directorial debut. This movie premiered in the Toronto and London Film Festivals last year to high praise.
Here’s the full synopsis:
Inseparable sisters raised in a small town on the Irish border, Lauren and Kelly’s lives were shattered with the mysterious death of their mother. Left to pick up the pieces after her sister abruptly disappeared, Lauren is suddenly confronted with the family’s dark and traumatic past when Kelly returns home after being reported missing for a whole year. The intense sisterhood reignited, Kelly’s desire to unearth their history is not welcomed by all in the small town, as rumours and malice spread like wildfire, threatening to push them over the edge.
This looks like an intense and beautifully acted film. Check out the trailer below. Wildfire opens in UK and Ireland cinemas on September 3rd, 2021. There is no US release date yet.
