Dubliners
Dublin, Ireland, in the early years of
the twentieth century. It is a poor city.
and there is hard drinking, dishonesty,
and violence just beneath the surface
everywhere you look. Even for those
who seem to live respectably - young or old - things are
tough. Glance inside a few people's lives, and you soon
find loneliness and disappointment, self-hate,
and despair.
The people in these stories are paralysed: locked into
the circles of their everyday lives, where they are caught
waiting between life and death. For some, there is a way
out - but will circumstances, or their own fear, stop them
from taking it?
