With an ensemble cast that includes Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Ciarán Hinds, Judi Dench, Colin Morgan, Jude Hill, and many more, Belfast is a personal and joyful story about the power of memory, set in late 1960s Northern Ireland.

At the center of the film is Buddy, a young boy on the cusp of adolescence, whose life is filled with familial love, childhood hijinks, and a blossoming romance. Yet, with his beloved hometown caught up in increasing turmoil, his family faces a momentous choice: hope the conflict will pass or leave everything they know behind for a new life…
