Amit Gupta directs this adaptation of Owen Sheers' debut novel
starring Andrea Riseborough and Michael Sheen. It's 1944 and D-Day
has failed. The United Kingdom is now under Nazi occupation. In the
remote Welsh village of Olchon, farmer's wife Sarah Lewis
(Riseborough) wakes up one morning to find her husband has
mysteriously disappeared along with all the other men in the
village. Then, as they wait for news, a German patrol arrives in
their valley on an undisclosed mission. During the harsh winter
that follows, the two groups are forced to pull together to survive
the last days of the war. Cut off from the conflict around them,
both the villagers and the Nazis find the lines between
collaboration, duty, occupation and survival becoming less defined
as time goes on...
Over the past ten years the Irish polity has experienced profound
change. The pessimism that had engulfed Irish society during the
1980s has given way to a new found confidence, one that befits its
status as an emerging, confident and cosmopolitan European state.
This book provides a theoretical examination of this startling
turnaround in the fortunes of the Irish polity and details the
developments that have taken place in key areas of public policy
over the last decade: civil service reform, the welfare state,
environmental policy abd rural development. -- .
