At the tail end of the Irish Civil War in 1923, on the fictional Irish isle of Inisherin, folk musician Colm Doherty abruptly begins ignoring his long-time friend and drinking buddy Pádraic Súilleabháin. Pádraic, though nice and well liked by the islanders, is too dull for Colm, who wishes to spend the remainder of his life composing music and doing things for which he will be remembered. Pádraic’s life is destabilized by the loss of one of his few friends; as Pádraic grows increasingly distressed at the rejection, Colm becomes more resistant to his old friend’s attempts to speak to him. Colm eventually gives Pádraic an ultimatum: every time he bothers him or tries to talk with him, he will cut off one of his own left fingers with a pair of sheep shears.The Banshees of Inisherin 2022 Movie Download.
Though Pádraic’s caring sister Siobhán and troubled local man Dominic attempt to defuse the pair’s escalating battle, their efforts prove fruitless. After a drunken Pádraic confronts him in the pub and then attempts to apologise, Colm cuts off one of his fingers and delivers it to Pádraic. As the tensions worsen, local elder Mrs. McCormick warns Pádraic that death will come to the island soon. Meanwhile, Siobhán gently rebuffs Dominic’s romantic advances; sick of life on the island, she moves to the mainland for a job in a library. Colm finishes writing a tune, which he entitles “The Banshees of Inisherin”, and appears open to rekindling his friendship with Pádraic – until the latter reveals how he tricked one of his musician friends to leave the island.
In response, Colm cuts off his remaining left fingers with the shears and throws them at the door of Padraic’s cottage. Pádraic’s beloved pet donkey Jenny is subsequently found dead, having choked on one of the fingers.A heartbroken Pádraic blames Colm for Jenny’s death. In retaliation, he confronts Colm to tell him he will burn his house down the next day.
