NORTH ft. Barry Keoghan | Omeleto

From the creator

A teenager faces his mother's death. Aaron is a teenage boy living with his other on an isolated rural farm in Northern Ireland. Aaron is both restless and hard-working, but his quiet life is about to be disrupted by the impending death of his mother, who has been living with a terminal illness for some time. But as friends and family arrive, Aaron's struggle to maintain normalcy becomes more fraught. As his inner tension builds, he must assert his place in the home and say goodbye to his mother on his own terms. Directed and written by Phil Sheerin, this powerful but restrained short drama traces the journey of a young man grappling with his mother's impending death. Filmed with a naturalistic, quiet visual approach that is both observational and poetic, the narrative explores love, loss, and the complexities of familial relationships during times of grief. Aaron is essentially the "man" of the house, tending to the farm chores and caring for his mother. They have a deep and close bond, built up over the years. However, the intimacy of their existence is disrupted by the arrival of friends and family. They want to be supportive, but their efforts often feel intrusive to Aaron, and he wrangles with overbearing relatives who try to tell Aaron what to do. The varied ways they deal with impending death create a rising tension in Aaron's external world, and inwardly, he's also forced to look at what his mother's death will mean for him.
