God’s Creatures. As reported by Deadline, the film is set in an Irish fishing village and tells the story of a mother (played by Emily Watson) who lies to protect her son (Mescal), exploring the disastrous impact this lie has on her family and community. The Normal People star joins Aisling Franciosi, Declan Conlon, Marion O’Dwyer, and Toni O’Rourke in the cast, while Saela Davis and Anna Rose Holmer are directing – their first time taking on the role as a duo, after working together on 2015’s The Fits. The screenplay is written by Shane Crowley, with Fodhla Cronin O’Reilly also collaborating on the story.
