LAKELANDS takes place in a small town in the midlands – the sort of place where Gaelic football is a religion, where identity is defined by what one can do on the pitch. The film tells the story of Cian Reilly, a young Gaelic footballer who struggles to come to terms with a career-ending injury after a violent attack on a night out. LAKELANDS is a depiction of youth culture in the midlands that hasn’t previously been seen in Irish cinema.
