Solas is a touching portrayal of loneliness and redemption. At its centre is the strained relationship between Maria and her mother Rosa, brought together by Maria's estranged father's illness.

Rosa not only discovers a world very different from her village existence but also finds her daughter's life in disarray – racked with frustration, bitterness and fuelled by alcohol.

The two discover that their relationship not only grows but is influenced by the arrival of their elderly neighbour. All three find a new purpose to their lives.
