Tin Castle

2026 · 95 min

A patient, intimate portrait of a family clinging to a fragile way of life, equal parts warmth and quiet dread.

Overview: Along a long-forgotten road, the O’Reillys live in a rundown trailer stranded in the middle of the fields. Pa’, Lisa, and their ten children weather the seasons in their tin castle, heirs to a way of life on borrowed time. Under threat of eviction, their tenuous balance falters, yet – steadfast in their tradition – they resist. The children laugh, the dogs bark, the trailer holds on – but for how long?
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, tense and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Family, politics, survival, isolation
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
