The Small World of Ireland is filled with grand emotions.

When you visit the small village in Ireland that is the setting for this film. The story seems simple enough. The settings appropriately stark, but beautiful in their rawness of the landscape. The people in this small town are all very carefully drawn in their differences but in many ways, they are all the same. In their search for life’s meaning (often discussed over a glass at the pub) they reach a variety of conclusions that might be as simple as buying a new cow for the farm, finding a mate, or in the case of the two main characters, the dissolution of their friendship. How one copes with the world of change that happens in the blink of an eye, is what the film is about. Awarded around the world, the Irish tale is universal and all encompassing. People are finally discovering the magic of Ireland this year.

Friends, Indeed.
