Amongst Women

Plots(1)

Based on John McGahern's award winning novel and set in 1950's rural Ireland, this is the searingly truthful story of embittered ex-IRA soldier Michael Moran (Tony Doyle), a brutal, domineering patriarch. Widowed and desperate to keep his family together, he succeeds only in driving his children from him. His daughters, bound together by love and fear of him, struggle painfully to establish their own lives away from the family home, while his sons, resentful of his harsh and at times, violent discipline, manage to break free and break his heart.
