It is early August 1936, and the feast of Lughnasa approaches.<br /> <br /> The sisters, including the character of Kate Mundy (portrayed by Streep), are home, knitting, cooking, reading, just passing time. After a few seconds of static on the family’s short-wave radio, a reel finally cuts through. One sister after the other gives way to the urge to take to the floor. The rigid behavior so much a part of God-fearing Irish propriety yields to surrender, to the irresistible call of the music and to their own once-unbridled and passionate natures. tag:thewildgeese.irish,2015-12-05:6442157:Video:176869 2015-12-05T13:29:49.913Z Declan Flattery https://thewildgeese.irish/profile/DeclanFlattery
