Staccato (2016) short film by Eoghan McQuinn

Sean is a young labourer newly appointed to tend the grounds of Falgirth, a stately manor in 19th C Ireland. But a secret romance results in a possessive, power-play and a betrayal that can never be forgiven.
This is a provocative film that aims to delve into psychology of two men from very different worlds who must navigate the waters of an intense infatuation, all the while struggling to come to terms with what’s expected of them in their respective roles in society. What results is a possessive power-play that involves both of their families, and a betrayal that can never be forgiven.
