Hall is showing in VO at La Breche in Ste Foy la Grande.
1932. Jimmy Gralton is back home in the Irish countryside
after ten years of forced exile in the USA. His widowed mother Alice is happy,
Jimmy's friends are happy, all the young people who enjoy dancing and singing
are happy. Which is not the case of Father Sheridan, the local priest, nor of
the village squire, nor of Dennis O'Keefe, the chief of the fascists. The
reason is simple: Jimmy is a socialist activist. So when the
"intruder" reopens the village hall, thus enabling the villagers to
gather to sing, dance, paint, study or box, they take a dim view of the whole
thing. People who think and unite are difficult to manipulate, aren't they?
From that moment on they will use every means possible to get rid of Jimmy and
his "dangerous" hall. Starring Barry Ward, Francis Magee and Aileen
Henry
13 June 19h30 : The Sardinade at Belves de Castillon. A great fun evening in the village – don’t
