A pesar de hacer los trabajos más duros y humildes, John Cassidy es un idealista que sueña con ser escritor. Pero le ha tocado vivir en Dublín, una ciudad que vive tiempos turbulentos por los motines y las huelgas de 1911, así que se dedica a repartir octavillas sediciosas. Por fin, llega el día en que termina de escribir un libro titulado "Historia del ejército popular irlandés", que, no sin dificultad, consigue publicar.

Mise Éire ("I am Ireland") is a 1912 Irish-language poem by the Irish poet and Republican revolutionary leader Patrick Pearse. In the poem, Pearse personifies Ireland as an old woman whose glory is past and who has been sold by her children. The poem inspired this 1959 film of the same name by George Morrison. Here, Morrison painstakingly assembled historical footage of the events surrounding the 1916 Rising from archives across Europe and deals with key figures and events in Irish Nationalism between the 1890s and the 1910s. The narration is by Liam Budhlaeir and Padraig O'Raghallaigh and the musical score is by Seán Ó Riada.
