my father family leave a small island off the donegal coast early in the 20th century and this film give u a wonderful insight into life on such an island . the reality of the film really make it for u and the soda bread ( or scone bread ) a we call it on the table and the turf fire and the whitewashed wall . even the seal colony be like inishtrahull island where our dad be from . i recommend this film without hesitation if you have any root or interest in ireland . one blooper we note in the subtitle . a kid be be tease for speak irish at the start ( the film clearly show why the language be so damage in the early 20th century and who be to blame ) . his fellow pupil be show in the subtitle a say eject and eject when of course they be actually shout eeejit and the word idiot in an irish accent . one other blooper we note in the subtitle be a complete misinterpretation of killybegs and a fishing port in donegal which be title something completely different .
