No, not Adobe, which is what I thought it was at first; a movie about pdf files and how they save the world. This is Abode, as in a place one lives in.
Again, this looks very sweet and makes a nice change from all the indie horror movies they seem to send us.
Abode stars Liam O Mochain, Marion O’Dwyer, Anthony Morris, Sophie Vavasseur, Brendon Conroy and Rosemary Henderson. O Mochain is the writer and director. The story is:
ABODE is 5 stories connected by the theme of home and what it means to the different characters. Whether they are living in mansions, on the street, a big city, in suburbia or the countryside, home has a different meaning for each of them.
Sounds like an anthology, but with a central theme, which I’m up for. The rest is from the press release. Following the film’s sold-out world premiere at the 2025 Galway Film Fleadh and recent acclaimed Irish cinema release, IndieCork praised the film as “a truly beautiful work and a reminder of how powerful independent cinema can be”.
Filmed over a 3-year period in Ireland, Abode tells five stories connected by the theme of home and what it means to the different characters, all inspired by true stories. Whether they are living in mansions, on the street, in a big city or in the countryside, home has a different meaning for each of them.
