That They May Face the Rising Sun
Synopsis
A vivid evocation of nature, humanity and life itself, set in a 1980s rural community in Ireland, based on internationally acclaimed Irish author John McGahern's award-winning novel.
After many years in London, Joe and Kate Ruttledge have returned to the small rural lakeside hamlet where Joe grew up. Centring on their lives and the ones of the characters around them, director Pat Collins (SONG OF GRANITE) has crafted a meditative and delicate exploration of rituals and human bonds, where the landscape plays its own unique and arresting role.
