Trí na chéile (In Our Togetherness)

Synopsis
Miriam was born in Lebanon and moved to Dublin as a teenager. Years later, she married Cathal and followed him to the Kilkenny countryside to help his father, Domhall. After Cathal’s sudden death, Miriam struggles to keep going. She is raising their two spirited children, Yara (9) and Rami (7), running a failing furniture restoration business, and supporting Domhall, who is secretly preparing to sell the farm.
Seath has recently returned home after the breakdown of a long-term relationship. A play therapist working in local schools, he avoids pressure from his mother, Caoimhe, to join the family business. One morning he nearly runs over Yara and Rami, leading him to the farm and into Miriam’s life.
Through school and Caoimhe’s work, Miriam and Seath grow closer, especially during a family day at the seaside. Rami warms to Seath, while Yara becomes protective of her father’s memory. Miriam’s chaotic sister Joelle arrives uninvited, determined to fix everything.
Seath is hiding the truth that Cathal was his childhood best friend. When Yara finds an old photo of them together, the secret is revealed just as Joelle announces the farm will be sold. Overwhelmed, Miriam ends things with Seath. That night, Yara disappears.
When Yara is found safe, Miriam decides to fight for their future. At the castle ruins, Seath asks for another chance, but Miriam turns him down. Later, she realises healing means letting go without forgetting. She is ready to begin again.
