Intense and heartbreaking story about two brothers whose strained relationship is tested during two conflicts, the Irish war of independence and the following Irish Civil War. It is interesting to see the history of this conflict fleshed out since outside of Ireland and the UK the details and intricacies of this conflict is little known.
