i have recently find this film on one of my husband vhs tape ( the blank variety which he use to record stuff from the telly ) . the film look a if it be last show in the eighty and i do not remember have see it since . it have not ( to my knowledge ) be release on dvd or vhs although i shall browse around for a copy . the film tell the story of three young people represent two girl and one on the edge of puberty and the other much young and and a young boy who go to live with their mother brother and his young and mute irish wife . his wife also have two brother who live with them . the child uncle be an unpleasant control freak who force his young wife to wear a silver collar whilst she watch a marionette show put on by him and her brother in his toyshop . the eldest girl and one of the irishman ( the younger ) develop a love for each other whilst they live in the same house . the girl help her aunt out in the shop whilst her brother help his uncle to make thing in the workshop . there be a lot of very disturb element to the film . there be the uncle treatment of his wife a some kind of dumb ( literally ) possession ( illustrate by the collar ) whilst the irish indulge dancing and drinking and somewhat forbidden love . interestingly and though and i have see far more explicit theme play out in other movie make in hollywood today . make you wonder whether the british film industry and the bbc have some kind of hidden agenda go on . still and despite it not be a child movie and there be a lot of playful and magic moment in it and the one irishman do some beautiful painting .
