This sweet coming-of-age film stars Orla Brady and Aidan Quinn.
It’s 1979 & Maeve Brennan, (Ailish McCarthy) is 13 and lives on Dublin’s Northside. The summer holidays beckon for Maeve and her trio of friends, Ruth, Orla and Claire, all focussed on the vagaries of puberty, first love and avoiding Sister Una. An encounter with Brian Power, the local heart-throb, sets Maeve on a collision course with her friends. Ruth needs her support when her estranged father wants to meet her, but Maeve is torn when Brian asks her to the Grove, the local night-club. It’s Cleary’s clock vs. the Grove… Is Maeve woman enough to make the right choice?
Written and directed by Marian Quinn
