The heroine of “Brooklyn” Eilish in search of work and the change of fate leaves from his native Enniscorte, where everything is so familiar and comfortable, in a strange, unusual New York. There she is tormented by nostalgia, looking for her place in a new country, meets love, makes difficult decisions and is already mastered when sad family news calls it back to Ireland.

“Brooklyn” - a minor Odyssey, where there are no special passions, but everything is saturated with feelings, piercing and inevitable, the story of the wanderings of one young woman back and forth, from Enniscorte to Brooklyn and again in Enniscorte, - in search of herself , your independence, your place, but ultimately your home, from where it is impossible to escape and where it is impossible to return.
