In the heart of County Tipperary in the 1950's, Father Daniel Barry (Martin Sheen) tackles a fundraising challenge - and satisfies a personal passion - by setting up a cinema in the village. He faces opposition from every side, from doubters, disapproving parishioners, and even his own crisis of conscience. Will he manage to resolve the conflicts between love and duty, hope and faith, the past and the future, Rome and Hollywood? Based on the bestselling book by Michael Doorley
