Sweety Barret is a big man with a gentle nature, who is not exactly known for his brain power. He loses his job with a travelling circus and is stranded in an Irish village, where he gets caught up in a local vendetta.
We meet John and Noreen, two young lovers from Boyle, Roscommon, at a turning point in their lives together. John wants to move the relationship forward in a certain way, but Noreen is less willing.
