OVERVIEW

    Billy Roche 

  • Setting

    A small town in Southern Ireland.

  • Synopsis

    Oweney's barber shop and the rooms to let above it offer refuge to a host of lonely hearts: a recently laid-off hotel night porter, an angry young artist, an orphan girl, a wounded old widower, a likeable bruiser and the beautiful Maeve. All of them, in their various ways, fall under Oweney's loving spell.
