New York's first Irish language film tells the story of Éanna O Connor, a lost twenty-something, who moves away from home in search of a new life in the big city. In need of money he takes a job minding his distant relative Brida. The two, distant at first, find themselves more alike than they realize. But how can they express this? An Chathair Mhór is a film about connection, the power of language and the city of New York.
