After decades of lies, resentments and stolen identities, a Muslim mother confronts her drag queen son for her long overdue moment in the spotlight.
Mother's husband and Son's father has just died. Mother is losing everything; her house, her glamour, her visibility.

He exaggerates stories of his mother, bartering in Islamophobic tropes to win white peoples’ sympathy. Her life is being re-written by her son – and he does it dressed as her.
Like Medea before her, Mother decides to claim what is hers – her voice, her identity, her story, her trauma. She confronts her son backstage for a show. A tragic Greek confrontation ensues, where intergenerational curses are finally broken, and Mother claims what she feels is rightfully hers.
Her womanhood, her spotlight, her moment.

Set on the Aran Islands, Ireland, the film follows Nora, a retired forensic ecologist, whose fading memory may hold the key to solving a forgotten environmental crime responsible for climate change. As the island's landscape erodes, so too does Nora's recollection of the past, including crucial details about an ecological disaster linked to the island's demise.
A determined detective arrives, hoping to extract vital information from Nora and stop future disasters. However, he quickly finds that it’s too late.
Translated and narrated by Inis Oírr novelist Máire Uí Dhufaigh, SEA MONSTER (OLLPHÉIST MHARA) explores the erosion of memory, language, and landscape. Nora’s struggle to remember becomes a powerful metaphor for the larger global environmental crisis - and how the world around her, like her mind, is slipping away.
In this evocative film, the fading of Nora's memories mirrors the irreversible effects of climate change, a poignant reminder that some losses, once they occur, cannot be undone.
A reclusive forest ranger, who finds solace in nature over humanity, is forced to confront his mistrust when two environmental researchers arrive, threatening the only world he calls home.
