Format:VHS Tape
Based in 1972 Belfast when children played in the street and snipers hid in the bushes, a housewife cried out against the silent system after her best friend was shot by accident. Julie Waters plays the role of Bernie McPhilemy convincingly as the mother who simply wants to just know why the shooting can't be held after nightfall, when then children are off the street, not suspecting the tangle of intrigue, anger, and political puppeteering she has entered. Ciaran Hinds portrays the dark dicotomy of the times, trying to keep his family intact with sarcastic humour and devil-may-care bravado while inwardly being torn apart by the stress. This movie does not try to state who is right or wrong but asks how in the world do people cope with the insanities. Through it's non-partisan humour, this film allows the viewer to let down the barriers and step in for a closer look. It shows us that, for many, the worst of times just brings out the worst, but, for a spirited few, there's hope for a better future.
