This film is family friendly.

An ethereal young woman visits her mysterious grandmother in a nursing home by a lake. Mystical forces converge with a coming-of-age tale that celebrates the inescapable power of storytelling - through the plight of two very different women struggling to overcome grief.

Director's Statement

‘TETHERED’ is a heart-rending short that visualises strands of folklore and family by interweaving live-action, animation, and modern dance. It’s a very personal ode to mythology and to the art of Irish storytelling, as well as an homage to 1980s fantasy cinema - but with a female focus.
