A Greyhound of a Girl

Synopsis

Granny is the best. While Mary’s home life is ruled by two older brothers, football and ready meals, she shares her grandmother’s rebellious spirit and love of home cooking. But the happy, carefree days in the kitchen with Granny are drawing to a close. At the same time, a mysterious woman appears in Mary’s life, ready to accompany her, her mother and her grandmother on a journey through the family’s history, bringing them all closer together for one last time as they dust off Granny’s past and straighten memories gone askew.

Two girls in maroon school uniform sit against mustard yellow lockers doing homework and sharing an orange. Lady Macbeth Was Never a Girl

Director: Francesca McBride

Year: 2026

In the grey rhythms of a 1990s British secondary school, a student begins to sense a discomfort that has no name, just a feeling that the role they’re playing doesn’t quite fit.
