The Fires is a 2023 Irish independent experimental drama film written and directed by Andrew Thomas in his feature film debut.
Premise[edit]
Having lived illegally in Canada for the past eight years, Danny Gallagher returns to his family home in rural Donegal. Danny spends his days isolated, seeking to make sense of the bruises left by his past by recording an audio tape for a person he no longer knows. Only when the tape is finished, and the house is cleared, can he finally move on.
