It is Ireland in the 1950s and for Ellis Lacey, as for so many young Irish girls, opportunities are scarce. So when her sister arranges for her to emigrate to New York, Ellis knew she must go, leaving behind her family and home for the first time.

Arriving in a crowded lodging house in Brooklyn, Ellis can only be reminded of what she has sacrificed. She is far from home - and homesick. Then, just as she takes tentative steps towards friendship, and perhaps something more, Ellis receives news which sends her back to Ireland.......

Going to release etc.
