Probably the most written about Irish film that no-one has seen! It's a multiple storyline Troubles film with a feminist theme. Shows the poor interaction with Republicans and the soldiers and lots of these scenes are impressive. A family must move out of their area, a daughter returns home from England, and a man can't live up to his father's Republican activities. Intelligent filmmaking that gets the audience to think (unlike most of the crap made here today!). Lots of uneven acting, bad lighting, impressive sound design, and derelict locations. Back in 1981 they didn't make Irish horror films as filmmakers like Pat Murphy actually had something real to say.
