In northern Ireland, a pair of young couples find their lives beset by religious divisions. Eugene (Des McAleer) and Collette (Bríd Brennan) are Roman Catholics, while Billy (Charles Lawson) and Lorraine (Paula Hamilton) are Protestants. Each pair is expecting its first child. Yet despite their superficial similarities, the two couples lead very different lives, colored by the region's political troubles. This becomes abundantly evident in the lead up to the Protestant July 12 celebrations.

Audience Member worth it just for the opening scene with the rabbit man. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This deals with one of Mike Leigh's regular themes: having children. I liked it and the director's commentary on the BBC DVD set was very good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
