Based on acclaimed Irish author John McGahern’s award-winning book of the same name. Joe and Kate Ruttledge have returned from London to live and work in a small, rural community in Ireland. Now deeply embedded in the life around them, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters that move about them unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons.

“… a lyrical, loving celebration of the everyday.” Allan Hunter, Screen International
