The Snapper

I watched the DVD "The Snapper."

Synopsis

Set in Ireland, Sharon Curley (Tine Kellegher) is a 20 year old living with her parents and many brothers and sisters. When she gets herself pregnant and refuses to name the father, she becomes the talk of the town. The Curley family is a poor but eccentric and loving Irish family. Oldest daughter Sharon announces she is pregnant, but refuses to reveal the identity of the father to anyone. Her father, Dessie (Colm Meaney), is supportive, but begins to chafe at the derisive gossip aimed at his family and his daughter. This leads to a confrontation between the two that is, like the rest of the movie, simultaneously funny and sad. The family waits in the hospital as Sharon gives birth to the snapper (Irish slang for an infant).
