Trespasses on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – Trespasses, based on the 2022 novel of the same name, is the story of Cushla (Lola Petticrew, Say Nothing), a young Catholic schoolteacher whose life in 1975 Northern Ireland is shadowed by the Troubles.
Amid curfews, bombings, and betrayals, she works nights in her family’s pub, serving both sides and British soldiers, when she meets and falls for Michael (Tom Cullen, Knightfall) – an older, married Protestant barrister.
Their affair is intoxicating and dangerous. Cushla’s world is full of defiant spirits: her drunk, sharp-tongued mother Gina (Gillian Anderson, The Fall), her lively pupils, and beloved colleague Gerry (Oisín Thompson).
But as the forbidden love between Cushla and Michael deepens, violence looms and tensions rise. Cushla will be pulled between duty and desire, and family and freedom.
