Synopsis
The Cripple of Inishmaan, a strange comic tale in the great tradition of Irish storytelling. Set in 1934, on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, the story begins with reports of a famous Hollywood director arriving on a neighboring island to film the pseudo-documentary Man of Aran. More than anyone else, the person who wants to be in the film is young Cripple Billy, desperate to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life.
