Set in Belfast during the Troubles, protagonist Maeve (Mary Jackson) comes home from London for a visit where she encounters characters from her past such as her ex-boyfriend Liam (John Keegan) and her sister Roisin(Brid Brennan). Asking questions about feminism, nationalism and the place of women in the Troubles, Pat Murphy’s debut feature film shifts between time-frames and story lines challenging the viewer to stitch the story together and avoiding the conventions of mainstream filmmaking.
