One of the best Irish movies of the year is on TV tonight

The Irish thriller will represent Ireland at next year's Oscars.

The movie follows three unlikely thieves, led by a woman on the verge of a breakdown, who rob a rural Irish Credit Union. Opening in the tragic aftermath of the heist-gone-wrong, the story unfolds backwards, chapter by chapter, to unravel the events that led to this point.

"What starts as a poorly executed robbery becomes a portrait of a wilful woman trapped in her own past," the plot synopsis adds.

McCann penned the film's screenplay, alongside Sarah Gordon. The pair will also be working on the second season of TG4's hit mystery show, Crá.

The movie has been highly acclaimed, picking up six nominations at this year's IFTA Awards, including Best Film.

Additionally, Aontas will represent Ireland in the International Feature Film category at next year's Oscars.

Aontas airs tonight on BBC One at 10.30pm.
