In the mid
1970s, a group of six young men left the West of Ireland, sailing out of
Dublin Bay to England in the hope of making their fortunes and returning home.
Thirty years later, only one makes
it home—but does so in a coffin. Jackie’s five friends reunite at
his wake where they are forced to face up to the reality of their alienation
as long-term emigrants who no longer have any real place to call home. Tom
Collin’s tender film shows us home is much closer than we think. Produced by
Jacqueline Larkin. Director of Photography: PJ Dillon. From Panorama
Entertainment.
