Storyline
Michael Moran is a bitter former IRA soldier who assumes the role of a harsh and controlling patriarch. After losing his wife and determined to hold his family together, he inadvertently alienates his children. His daughters, tethered by a mixture of love and fear, strive to carve out independent lives outside the family’s home. Meanwhile, his sons, burdened by resentment due to his stern and sometimes violent discipline, eventually break free – a decision that fractures his heart.

“Having your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes.”
