Sharon Curley (Tina Kellegher) is a 20 year old living at home with her parents and many siblings. She announces that she's pregnant but refuses to name the father. She's keeping the baby (snapper). Her father Dessie (Colm Meaney) is supportive, and defends her against town gossip about the identity of the father.
This is the second of Roddy Doyle's "Barrytown Trilogy". Due to rights issue, the Rabbitte family name isn't used. It's a TV movie but it does have a cinematic feel. The acting is so great especially Meaney and Kellegher. They make the characters come alive. Their boisterous personalities come across as family relations. This is both touching and funny. It is brilliant.
