Introducing
“What I discovered making the film is how very proud I am to be Irish […] We come from an incredible group of survivors – people who have suffered and been oppressed but have triumphed, through working hard and living. In a way, the film does have that joy in it, the characters in it are quite heroic. Also, the immersion in the language is cathartic in a way, even if you’re not a fluent speaker. It feels authentic.” Ó Súilleabháin for Hot Press
Synopsis
Ireland, 1845 on the eve of The Great Hunger. Colmán Sharkey, a fisherman, a father, a husband, takes in a stranger at the behest of a local priest. Patsy, a former soldier in the Napoleonic wars arrives just ahead of ‘the blight,’ a disease that eventually wipes out the country’s potato crop, contributing to the death and displacement of millions.
