Synopsis
A small town cinema in rural Ireland in the 1950s becomes the setting for a dramatic struggle between Rome and Hollywood, and a man and his conscience. Father Daniel Berry is a priest in a town struggling with the excitement of the unknown versus the security of the familiar, as those in the town find themselves on the cusp of the modern while still holding on to the traditions of the Church and a cultural identity forged in very different times.
