AN ANIMATED MINI-SERIES
TÓRAÍOCHT
Once upon a time there was a little girl, and one day she found herself very far from home, sat at a bus stop...
TÓRAÍOCHT revolves around Aoife, your classic 8-year-old, stubborn and enthusiastically imaginative. On a quest to rescue her mother, Aoife finds herself in the ancient parallel world of Tír nAill, but not everything is as it seems in this land of legend and myth. Dark creatures seek brave heroes with whom to battle, villages find their homes terrorised by monsters and sorrow, and all the while rumours of a fearsome beast taint the hope of the land.
It is up to Aoife to find the cure, to save her mother, and to put everything right. But she’s just one girl, and she can’t do this alone.

EXPLORING THE WORLD OF TÓRAÍOCHT…
Based on the mythology surrounding An Bradán Feasa, this short film script explores the limitless boundaries of Aoife’s somewhat peculiar imagination and the beautiful yet strange folktales that abound throughout Ireland.
“Welcome to the Land of the Fae, Aoife, daughter of Éire. Take heed. Have courage. And above all else, do not fail. For all that we know will fall to the dark and be lost forever in the nothing. ”
