• Suíomh

  The living room of Martha Martin's home in an Ulster seaside town in 1900.

• Achoimre

  Ineffectual and headstrong, James Martin walks out on his wife and child following an affair with his wife's younger sister. Some 16 years later he returns, with consequences both for himself and his family. Wife Martha has since become a thriving shop-keeper, and he has a grown-up son Johnny and a teenage daughter Agnes, born after he departed. Though James complains bitterly of the life he has had in the meantime, and seems unchanged, Agnes beings to wake in him a sense of genuine fatherly love and affection.
