Widely praised in the Irish press ('visually striking, concisely achieved, beautiful and elegiac'), this is the first film shot in Ireland on scope format: an eloquent cinematographic glimpse of the effect that emigration has had on the life of several parents in a small country town. Mr and Mrs Conheeny, the central characters in the story, seek a way to express the loss of their children.
