A middle-aged Irish American man is called home because his dad is allegedly on his deathbed. When he gets back to the small village where he was raised, he finds out his father had tricked him to get him to visit. As the story unfolds, we discover his mom had died when he was a child and his dad never talked about her. And he and his cantankerous dad haven't gotten along for years. As luck would have it, he meets an American woman who's visiting the village to discover her roots and they strike up a friendship. The story plays out slowly, and some may find it boring. But the scenery is so beautiful, it's worth watching just for that! There were numerous times where I said to myself, "That would make a great painting!" And the Celtic influenced soundtrack is gorgeous as well.
4 out of 5 stars
