Description: 1890s Ireland: Across the city of Dublin, as the River Liffey winds and twinkles through its heart, infinite domestic dramas play themselves out behind lace curtains and broken window-panes, inside quiet parlours and crammed churches, along concrete pavements and cinder paths. Through these are illuminated snippets of the lives of the Dubliners - truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical...and people just striving to get by.
