內向的九歲女孩凱特，生在一個無愛的家庭，惴惴不安的她，總是盡量讓人忽視自己的存在。隨著夏天到來，臨盆在即的媽媽將她託付給遠親照顧。這對農場夫婦似乎能感受到凱特的內心世界，為她騰出房間、準備衣服，帶她熟悉農場瑣事，凱特在此有一個很不一樣的夏天。改編自短篇小說《寄養》（Foster），以孩童視角出發並使用蓋爾語，將話語權還給一個式微的語言及在大家庭中被忽略的小孩。

Rural Ireland, 1981. Nine-year-old Cait is sent away from her overcrowded, dysfunctional family to live with foster parents for the summer. Quietly struggling at school and at home, she has learned to hide in plain sight from those around her. She blossoms in their care, but in this house where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one painful truth.
