Synopsis: After his wife abandons him and his three children, an Irish unemployed house painter has trouble supporting his family, and the state sends them to institutions run by the church. The battle to have them back is a tough one and involves some legal issues.
Appraisal: Although the main character and his daughter are surely worthy of our sympathy, and the exposition and development of the story are clear and easy to follow, I couldn't help an overall impression of laziness and perhaps compromise. For example, I honestly didn't exactly buy the all-sisters-were-nice-except-one angle, but who knows. Anyway, it is definitely on the watchable side, but don't expect much.
