Sitting on an impoverished Manchester sink estate, our latter day Cinderella (Cassidy) dreams of meeting her prince charming. Without a fairy godmother handy she uses her womanly wiles and nabs herself John, an older (married) wealthy builder. A baby secures the match and she’s plunged into nouveau riche heaven nestled in the Cheshire countryside.
But what seemed to be the idea...
A young couple who collect rare folk ballads discover the dark side of love when they surreptitiously record and translate an ancient, taboo folk song from the deep, forgotten past.
This film is a poignant social drama based on true life events at the turn of the century which helped shape history to make the Ireland we know today.
