In the remote Irish woods, Brendan, a young boy, is learning the ancient art of calligraphy in the local monastery. Soon he will be recruit by a revered illuminator to complete a series of dangerous and magical tasks.

 

The Secret of Kells is the first feature by Tomm Moore and Nora Twomey, who are also behind Song of the Sea and The Breadwinner. With a distinctive style of drawing inspired by Celtic and medieval art, the film is based on the story of the origin of the Book of Kells, a precious illuminated manuscript Gospel Book, which is believed to have been created around 800 AD, and is now located in Dublin.
