The woman is the ghost of Granny’s own mother, who has come to help her daughter say good-bye to her loved ones and guide her safely out of this world. She needs the help of Mary and her mother, Scarlett, who embark on a road trip to the past. Four generations of women travel on a midnight car journey.

REVIEWS : 

“It’s a tender film that will leave only the chilliest heart unwarmed.”–Cath Clarke, Guardian

“Working from a script written with the Bafta – winning Dave Ingham (Charlie and Lola), D’Alòleans into Doyle’s reliable ear for the vernacular. Hand-drawn monochrome dream sequences form an intriguing subplot around the sighthound of the title.”–Tara Brady, Irish Times
