Acerca de esta película

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. As the crops rot in the fields, Colmán, his brother and Patsy travel to the English Landlord's house to request a stay on rent increases that Colmán predicts will destroy his community. His request falls deaf ears and Patsy's subsequent actions set Colmán on a path that will take him to the edge of survival, and sanity. It is only upon encountering an abandoned young girl that Colmán's resolve is lifted. Just in time for the darkness of his past to pay another visit.

Stopped watching after 1 minute because it's in Irish even though it's advertised to be in English. Google Play wouldn't refund my money..

Rugged, beautiful seascape and quiet, nuanced acting tempered the tragic drama of the story. We enjoyed the film.

Is scannán iontach é agus tá fótheidail ar fáil. It is an amazing movie, and subtitles are available.
