This film is a great telling of a love story without one of the parties present. Instead, the person is represented by her Black son who travels to Ireland to meet his mother's side of the family. Although race is an obvious factor in the story, it is not dwelled upon. Instead, the young man's relationship to his newly found relatives and the secrets they are concealing make for an engrossing study of lost loves and regrets. "The Nephew's" appearance is the catalyst for bringing all of these buried hurts to the surface. A real, human, emotional journey handled with superb sensitivity. Well worth seeing in any language!
