Donal Ryan’s three carefully crafted portraits of three differently damaged men, tied together with tender skill and compassion.
Donal Ryan captures the language and spirit of rural Ireland in this dark, witty and technically daring portrait of small-town life.
In the aftermath of Ireland’s financial collapse, dangerous tensions surface in an Irish town. As violence flares, the characters face a battle between public persona and inner desires. Through a chorus of unique voices, each struggling to tell their own kind of truth, a single authentic tale unfolds.
