Roise and Frank is a family-friendly comedy-drama about a recently widowed woman who believes her husband has been reincarnated as a stray dog. From this surreal premise, begins a beautiful journey about the importance of family and community. In the end, it is a warm-hearted, witty and uplifting tale of finding hope in the darkest of places.
The Embassy of Ireland opened in the Philippines in November 2021, this screening is an important landmark in reaching out to communities across the Philippines to share culture and build people-to-people connections.AAL/LAF/PIA6 Iloilo
