George is consumed with preserving and documenting the dying languages of far-flung cultures. Closer to home, though, language is failing. George doesn’t know what to say to Mary, to keep her from leaving. George also doesn’t recognize the deep feelings that lab assistant Emma has developed. Interspersed with George’s dissolving love life is the research into language and what we’re really saying when we speak.

Step back into 1978. Night Fever, ABBA and Kate Bush at the top of the charts. Jimmy Carter is the US President and Jack Lynch the taoiseach. The hippies have taken over US culture while the troubles are spiralling. In the local pub in east Galway, Micheal Ridge is home from America, after ten years emigrating in hopes of becoming an actor. Join Micheal, Tom, Junior and Liam as they catch up over pints in “The White House” and witness them spiral to arguing about who they’ve become from when they were young lads, fight over changed priorities, new found notions and a strong figure, now absent, JJ Kilkelly
