Des Bishop

İnanç, umut ve hatta sihirin iyileştirici güçleri, usta yazar yönetmen Jim Sheridan'ın (My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father) modern bir İrlanda ailesinin New York şehrindeki macerasını anlatan ilham verici, rahat anlatımlı otobiyografik filminde dansediyor. Christy ve Ariel'in genç ve verimli gözlerinden aktarılan bu sıradışı, bazen komik ve her zaman duyarlı hikaye anılar, sırlar, sevgi, kaybetme ve yeniden başlamayı konu alıyor. Çocuklar ve anne babaları Johnny (Paddy Considine) ve Sarah (Samantha Morton) yeni yuvalarının baş döndürücü zorlukları ve harika taraflarını keşfetmeden önce, herbiri geçmişlerindeki üzüntü ve gecmişlerindeki duygusal yaralarla başa çıkmalı ve üstesinden gelmelidirler...
