Fools of Fortune

In the midst of a tumultuous struggle between Irish Republicans and the British army, a Protestant Irish family finds themselves caught in the crossfire.

Intensely moving story of young love set in 1918 rural Ireland, where three generations of the same family are shattered by the Anglo-Irish conflict. The story takes place on the huge estate of the Quintons, where a ritualistic murder of one of their workers shocks the family into the real world, thrusting them into the struggle.
