That They May Face the Rising Sun
The rain comes down. The sun shines. Grass grows. Children grow old and die. That's the holy all of it. We all know full well, but can't even whisper it.
enjoyed this a lot, beautiful and real

This is not just one the most beautiful films I've ever laid my eyes on, it's one of the best. Calm and comforting, melancholic and yet joyous enough. GOD I LOVE IRELAND!

That They May Face the Rising Sun
“The days were quiet, through them ran the sense, like an underground river, that there would come a time when these days would be looked back on as happiness. All that life could give of contentment and peace.”

An achingly beautiful film, the kind where you just sit back and bask in it.
