Korea (1996)
Set in 1950s rural Ireland, this is a powerful story of the relationship between father and so. Amid emigration and war, John Doyle’s feud with Ben Moran resurfaces after Ben’s son dies in Korea. As John's son Eamon falls for Una Moran, old hatreds threaten young love in a tragic, modern Romeo and Juliet tale.
