Gabriel and Gretta Conroy (Donal McCann and Anjelica Huston), a young couple in early 1900s Dublin, are enjoying a holiday party when Gretta suddenly has poignant memories of a deceased former love. The shattering revelation of Gretta's secret past causes Gabriel to see his life - and all the world - in an entirely new light. (official distributor synopsis)
