Irishman, The
Everything Changes… Except Family.
Sometimes more than a job gets crushed beneath the wheels of progress. This moving and powerful drama is adapted from Elizabeth O´Connor´s award-winning novel about a family desperately trying to cope with the changing world of the 1920s.
Paddy Doolan is a proud Irish-Australian teamster, devoted to his profession. Even as motorization threatens to replace his weathered horse-drawn carts, he stubbornly clings to the old ways. His younger son, Michael, supports him - but not his eldest boy, Will. At the hub of this fractious trio is the enduring matriarch, Jenny, who does her best to keep her family together.
After coldly rejecting his father´s offer of partnership, Will strikes out to find his own way in the modern world. Michael remains at home and stands by Paddy, but gradually realizes he is helpless to stop the march of progress through their small town. Ultimately, he will face the challenge to life in his father´s world of the past or strike out into an uncertain future of his own making.
