Description
Dublin, 1907, is a city of contrasts, where a young actress's dreams of stardom in America collide with the conventions of a troubled genius. Molly Allgood, a Catholic girl from the slums, begins an affair with John Synge, a leading playwright, despite the stern opposition of friends and family. Their relationship is quarrelsome, affectionate, and tender, a complex web of passion and restraint. Years later, Molly's once dazzling career has faded, but her unquenchable passion for life remains. Now a poverty-stricken old woman, she navigates the bomb-scarred streets of London, alone but for the memories that cling to her like a snowdrift. A poignant and powerful portrayal of love, loss, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
