Roan Inish is set after WWII, and follows a displaced Irish family finding its bearings. Another plot line of the film (and later the only one) is their long lineage has a secret and it's key to finding a missing family member.
My worry was that Roan Inish would be a childish slog, but it wields its low-key fantasy elements tastefully and is sparse in placing them. A visually striking film that captures the ancient, Celtic folklore setting they were going for. Dreamlike and generally captivating; easy to sleep to in a good way. Something you can appreciate as a grown adult or a kid. It's not a movie mentioned hardly but you'll be glad if you stumble upon it.
