A sensitive, beautifully realised adaptation of John McGahern’s final novel capturing a year in 1980s rural Ireland.
Writer Joe (Barry Ward) and artist Kate (Anna Bederke) have returned from London to a small, close-knit community in rural Ireland, near to where Joe grew up. Now embedded in a remote lakeside setting, the drama of a year in their lives and those of their neighbours unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons.
Pat Collins’ (The Dance, Song of Granite) quietly stunning film explores how Irish lives were changing and modernising in the 20th century, with gorgeous scenery filmed on the shore of Loch Na Fooey in County Galway.
