The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne

An unlikely relationship based on love, faith, and a little deception.

A melancholic portrait of a lonely middle-aged woman's desperate, doomed attempt at love and connection in 1950s Dublin, built on mutual deception and the ache of unfulfilled longing.

A penniless middle-aged spinster scrapes by giving piano lessons in the Dublin of the 1950s. She makes a sad last bid for love with a fellow resident of her rundown boarding house, who imagines she has the money to bankroll the business he hopes to open.
