An engaging and immaculately acted
comedy drama, SALTWATER is the first
feature film from Conor McPherson,
playwright of the hugely successful
'The Weir'.
Life in an out-of-season seaside resort is tough enough. But for the Beneventi family, grieving the year long loss of their mother and struggling to make a living from their fish 'n' chip shop, the future looks more of a challenge. |

The father, George, is in debt to the local loan shark; the youngest son, Joe, abruptly loses his innocence when he falls in with a bad influence; and daughter Carmel is dating a philandering philosophy lecturer.
But when Frank, the eldest son robs the local betting shop, things begin to look a little brighter.
Adapted from his play 'This Lime Tree Bower', SALTWATER displays Mc Pherson's gift for language and reveals him to be a talented director of great promise.
