That They May Face the Rising Sun

Based on internationally acclaimed Irish author John McGahern's award winning novel of the same name, That They May Face the Rising Sun is a vivid evocation of nature, humanity and life itself set in a 1980s rural community in Ireland.

Joe and Kate Ruttledge have returned from London to live and work among the small, close-knit community near where Joe grew up. Now deeply embedded in life around the lake, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters around them unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons as this enclosed world becomes an everywhere.
