“Five sisters embrace the spirit of a people.”

Drama

Five unmarried sisters make the most of their simple existence in rural Ireland in the 1930s.

VIBE

A tender, wistful look at sisters in 1930s Ireland. It feels like a half-remembered dream, full of quiet longing and the fading echoes of music and memory.
