Brooklyn stars Saorise Ronan as Eilis, “who moves from a small town in 1950s Ireland to Brooklyn, where, unlike at home, she has the opportunity for work, for a future and for love, in the form of Italian-American Tony (Emory Cohen).  When a family tragedy brings her back to Ireland, she finds herself absorbed into her old community, with Jim (Domhnall Gleeson) courting her. As she repeatedly postpones her return to America, Eilis finds herself confronting a choice between two men and two countries.”  The talented cast also includes Jim Broadbent and Julie Waters.
