IRELAND-GERMANY • 2009 • COLOUR • DOLBY STEREO • 35MM • 84 MIN.


Join us for a special preview of a brand new and genuinely heartwarming family film starring Colm Meaney (Intermission, Kings), Susan Lynch (Elizabeth: The Golden Age) and newcomer Niamh McGirr. Eleven-year-old Mary lives a fairly miserable life on a bankrupt Northern Ireland hill farm. She doesn’t complain but she dreams of becoming a racing driver. Despite the disapproval of her parents and teasing from her friends, she builds a go-cart and enters a local race in the hope of making her dreams come true. A young girl whose ambitions are bigger than the world around her, Mary has to make some tough decisions that will take her far beyond the family farm.
