The film delves into the harrowing scandal of the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, institutions run by the Catholic Church and the Irish state, where nuns mistreated and exploited pregnant girls.

Adapted from the book Small Things Like These by Irish author Claire Keegan, the film sheds light on a dark chapter in Irish history.
