That They May Face The Rising Sun

This poignant, rural meditation on life, love & friendship is based on the bestselling novel by John McGahern, and is a steadfast adaptation that finds beauty in the mundane, as is the case with the original text.

Joe & his wife Kate have quit the London life to return to the rolling Irish landscape of his childhood (filmed in stunning Connemara), and soon enough their quirky “London ways” & boho stylings are the talk of the local community, who flock to view these exotic new residents.

A simple, yet powerful tale of love on the move, of community, and of friendships through adversity. A quiet giant that stays with the soul.
