Skeffington Snr
Para Cal, un chico de 19 años de Irlanda del Norte, la vida no es nada fácil: podría ayudar en el matadero de su padre, pero detesta esa clase de trabajo, o podría recoger cada semana su cheque de desempleo; podría pensar que no tiene futuro o intentar cambiarlo. Cal y su padre son católicos, pero viven en un barrio protestante, sometidos a constantes amenazas de carácter violento. Finalmente, un día, les incendian la casa. Cal decide entonces ingresar en el IRA y su consuelo será el amor que siente por Marcella, una viuda italiana católica.

Michael Flaherty (Craig Wasson), an American Vietnam veteran of Irish descent, returns to Belfast to join the cause of his grandfather, Seamus (Sterling Hayden). Soon he finds that he is not as welcomed in his home country as he imagined he would be.

Bosco Hogan plays Joyce's alter-ego, Stephen Daedelus, growing up in Ireland in the early part of the 20th century, and at odds with the strictures of his Catholic home and family. The film charts his search for knowledge and understanding, during a decline in his family's circumstances, that leads him to revelations on the nature of art, beauty and politics. However his personal renaissance makes him feel unwelcome in his own country, and forces him to make a choice between exile as artist or staying and facing personal defeat.
