Set against a backdrop of the Northern Irish countryside, Three Keenings is a dark comedy film based around the tradition of ‘Keening’, a form of vocal lament for the dead in Gaelic Celtic Culture.
It follows the story of Ian, a struggling actor who has the unusual stopgap job of a professional mourner. Ian works the local funeral circuit, getting paid to cry by the hour with his mourning troupe- The Banshees- seemingly detached from the emotion and tragedy around him.
