ECHOES

This classic Irish hidden gem stars 4-time BAFTA nominee Geraldine James in a compelling and evocative story of love, friendship and obsession, set in a small Irish town between 1952-1962, based on Maeve Binchy's novel. Castlebay in the 1950s is a typical, small Irish seaside town. Its peoples' ambitions and expectations are generally limited and easily achieved. But there are two children who dream of another life - Clare O'Brien (Siobhan Garahy) is determined to better herself and make education her escape route with the help of her teacher (James), while David Power (Robert Hines) is going to be a doctor with a practice far away from his domineering mother.
