Drama

Following the death of his overprotective parents, a reclusive and friendless man finds their land unexpectedly valuable.

Partial adaptation

The Thing About December: The novel adapted for Foscadh

Across Twelve Months, a Gentle Tipperary Man Loses His Parents and Finds That New Wealth Has Made His Farm Valuable to Everyone Except Himself · by Donal Ryan

Why this book?

Seán Breathnach adapts Johnsey Cunliffe and the novel's central pressures while moving the action from rural Tipperary to Connemara and making Irish the film's language. John loses his sheltered family life, confronts grief and a valuable property, enters hospital after violence, and struggles to recognize friendship, exploitation, and intimacy. The film reshapes characters, geography, chronology, and resolution into a more concentrated adulthood story rather than reproducing the book's month-by-month design. Donal Ryan's protagonist, vulnerability, land conflict, social cruelty, and emotional foundation remain the primary source.
