Three unlikely thieves, led by a woman on the verge of a breakdown, rob a rural Irish Credit Union. Opening in the tragic aftermath of the heist-gone-wrong, the story uses reverse chronology to unravel the events that led to this point. What starts as a poorly executed robbery becomes a portrait of a willful woman trapped in her own past. Aontas is a fractured thriller about the impact of our choices and the memories we can’t escape.

This heist film won Best Feature and Best Director at the 2025 Manchester Film Festival.
