Synopsis
In 1973 Moll Gladney goes missing from the Tipperary hillside where she was born. Slowly her parents, Paddy and Kit, begin to accept that she’s gone forever. But she returns, changed, and with a few surprises for her family and neighbours.
Our Review
We found this an interesting, emotional view of 1970s rural Ireland. It’s a difficult, rather sad view of racism, mixed race families, single sex relationships and generational differences but showed that, with patience and understanding, love can win through in even the most difficult of situations.
