"That They May Face the Rising Sun" is an adaptation of the final novel from John McGahern, one of Ireland's greatest novelists. Joe (Barry Ward) and Kate (Anna Bederke) Ruttledge have returned from London to live and work among a small, rural, lakeside community in Ireland near to where Joe grew up. Now deeply embedded in the life around the lake, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters that move about them unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons as this enclosed world becomes an everywhere.
