Sol himself is voiced by 12 year old Zana Akkoç. The film’s song has been recorded by Moya Brennan, member of Celtic folk band, Clannad.

 

'Finky' | New Year's Day @ 9.20pm

Dathaí Keane’s Finky tells the story of Micí Finky, a musician with a tragic past who is crippled in a car accident and given a chance at redemption when he is recruited by a violent, avant-garde circus. Finky embarks on a psychedelic, high-speed odyssey but, as his journey becomes increasingly hellish and surreal, he realises that he must confront his tormented past if he is to ever find peace.

There will also be plenty of Christmas classics on the Irish channels over the season. Be sure to check out our Christmas movies page for every title on TV.
