Synopsis
Ireland, 1970s. Eager to leave his dark past behind, Finbar Murphy leads a quiet life in the remote coastal town of Glencolmcille, far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country. When a menacing crew of terrorists arrive, led by a ruthless woman named Doirean, Finbar soon discovers that one of them has been abusing a local young girl. Drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse, Finbar must choose between exposing his secret identity or defending his friends and neighbours.
Director’s Statement
Growing up in the midwestern United States, I passionately embraced films as a means to escape the confines of my small world. Today, as a filmmaker, there is nothing more appealing than immersing myself in a new subject, to dive beneath the surface and explore an unfamiliar human experience, and to find an exciting way to share it with others through film. Which is why I was so thrilled to find In the Land of Saints and Sinners. Here was an original story, set in a special time and place, with a wild cast of characters. The film tells the story of an Irishman who must choose between keeping his shameful past a secret or exposing it all to protect his friends and neighbours from the outlaws who’ve descended upon their quiet coastal village. I set out to make a film with authenticity and realism. From the texture of the period costumes to the epic cliffside landscapes as a backdrop, to the all-Irish cast with their peculiar accents, the goal was to transport the audience into this unique world and treat them to a distinctive, compelling adventure.
