FIDIL GHORM
Special Features: East Coast Premiere | Intro by CIFF Director Maedhbh Mc Cullagh and performance by Edith Lawlor
[BLUE FIDDLE]
10-year-old Molly (Edith Lawlor) believes that, if she can learn to play the fiddle like her father once did, she will be able to wake him from a coma. Whilst in the coma, her dad is moved to a rehab center where Molly, her mother and her brother Jack visit him daily. After the doctor tells her mother that it would probably take a miracle to wake him, Molly becomes curious and inquires about miracles. Her mother tells her that miracles are a kind of magic, and Molly’s imagination goes into overdrive. One day in the rehab home, Molly hears an elderly grumpy man called Malachy play the fiddle beautifully. She is told that he has “magic in his hands” and had once been a champion fiddler. After Molly persuades Malachy to teach her to play the fiddle, they go in search of the miracle and magic that only music can bring.
