• Achoimre

  In a time of political turmoil and instability, ambitious young journalist Emer Hackett creates havoc for fading Taoiseach Manny Spillane and his legacy. Their paths cross in the ruins of an old theatre, set to be the site for a banking centre, which promises to bring wealth to the Irish economy as well to Spillane and his cohorts. A look at what Ireland might have become 50 years after its independence, and how fragile the norms that govern us really are.
