Synopsis
'In Ainm an Athar' deals with the return of a young man, Liam, or ‘Wino' as he prefers to call himself now, from a stay in a psychiatric institution, and the sequence of events which follows: the reaction of his parents, in particular his father, the local Garda sergeant; that of the Parish Priest, the Canon, to whom Wino reacts hostilely, even violently; and that of Andy, a local layabout yet the only character who reaches out to Wino on a human level.
