Synopsis
A powerful love story set precariouly in scenes of the highest comedy
When Gretchen decides to spend a year on the south-west coast of Ireland, she knows that she is entering a world quite different from her strict childhood. To her parents, Ireland is a wretched place, teeming with alcoholics and slipshod Catholics permanently behind with the rent and domestic chores. To Gretchen, it is a country of mystery and rapture. But the dilapidated grandeur of Dufresne Hall - where squalor rules and nothing works - begins to challenge her romantic ideals. As the Ireland of myth that she has yearned for is gradually displaced in her mind, she finds a new direction for her feelings in a relationship that surprises and overwhelms her.
