A Nightingale Falling



Garret Daly & Martina McGlynn : 2014

Set in Ireland during the War of Independence, two sisters' lives are changed forever as they care for a wounded soldier in their home. A tragic love story of an Anglo-Irish household and its inhabitants caught in the crucible of deep dark secrets. Framed against a backdrop of a turbulent war-torn Ireland in the early 1920s, May Collingwood is forced to make critical and difficult decisions when she rescues a British soldier and must now protect herself and sister Tilly. They live in fear of the British Black and Tans, the rising IRA, their own entrapment, and ultimately the dark secrets of unrequited love unfolding from within. A powerful drama of lives overtaken and destroyed by the merciless politics, cruelties and hardships of the period. Garret Daly and Martina McGlynn's feature premiered at Galway Film Fleadh 2014.
