Synopsis

Joe and Kate Ruttledge are a married couple adapting to rural life in the sparsely populated Irish community of County Leitrim where Joe grew up in as a young boy. Returning after a long time away in the big city of London, the couple find themselves becoming deeply embedded in the small dramas and melancholic lives of the people surrounding them, navigating their way through generations of ritual, work, trauma and longing. Taking place over a year, the changing seasons dictate the mood and rhythm of the experiences being lived out around them before a moment of tragedy forces them to reflect on their place within this very specific community. Based on a popular Irish novel by John McGahern, this sensitive film is an excellent window into rural life and the history of Irish tradition.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
