An 1985 thuig am marsanta gual Bill Furlong gun robh cùisean eagail dìomhair, ann am baile an Èirinn, a bha fo smachd na h-Eaglais Chaitligeach. Air a tharraing à Enda Walsh nobhail a sgrìobh Claire Keegan an 2021.
Tha Rudan Beaga Mar Sin a’ gabhail àite aig àm na Nollaig 1985, nuair a tha Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) fear a tha dìleas dha chlann mar phàrant, a’ faighinn a-mach gu bheil dìomhaireachd mu rudan cianail borb, air cùl dhorsan ionad nam ban-chràbhaidh sa bhaile. Tha cuid dhiubh a’ bualadh air fhèin gu pearsanta. Tha am film ag innse na fìrinn mu àite obrach nam Magdalene an Èirinn - àitichean sgriosail a bha aig an Eaglais Chaitligeach eadar 1820-1996 airson boireannaich a bha air “tuiteam le leanabh” a threòrachadh air an t-slighe mhoralta.
Bhuannaich Emily Watson duais airson an cleasaiche taic a b’ fheàrr aig Fèis Eadar Nàiseanta Film Berlin 2024.

In 1985 coal merchant Bill Furlong uncovers disturbing secrets in a small Irish town that's controlled by the Roman Catholic Church. Adapted by Enda Walsh from the 2021 novel by Claire Keegan.
Small Things Like These takes place over Christmas in 1985, when devoted father and coal merchant Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) discovers startling secrets kept by the convent in his town, along with some shocking truths of his own. The film reveals truths about Ireland's Magdalene laundries - horrific asylums run by Roman Catholic institutions from the 1820s until 1996, ostensibly to reform "fallen young women."
Emily Watson won best supporting performer at Berlin International Film Festival 2024.
