Lovely, headstrong Rosy cannot forsake her passionate romance with the handsome British officer. Yet is there a greater love? The devotion of her reserved schoolteacher husband Charles , who stands by Rosy when her illicit affair leads to a charge of treason. Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago director David Lean and screenwriter Robert Bolt frame this brooding tale within the expansive beaches, craggy cliffs and heathered hills of Ireland’s Dingle Peninsula. The remarkable movie containing them casts a haunting spell.
Set in 1916 in a British-occupied Irish village on the seacoast of Western Ireland.
