Director Cara Holmes’ singular and ethereal documentary bursts with candid observations of the lipstick wearing, always swearing, no nonsense artist and sheep farmer Orla Barry. A hard-working shepherd in rural Wexford, Barry — an internationally celebrated visual and performance artist — lives life at the intersection of art and farming. This film offers a beguiling immersion into her life and the tapestry of profound connections she experiences with the animals, the land, the elements, words and language.
“One of the most mesmerizing pieces of film I have seen in some time. In observing Barry’s creative genius, Holmes has fashioned a completely spellbinding story.” FilmIreland.net
