  • "Der Film erzählt die Geschichte des jungen Damien, der seine Arztkarriere aufgibt, um für die irische Unabhängigkeit zu kämpfen. Er schliesst sich den Verbündeten seines Bruders Teddy an, die nach dem irischen Oster-Aufstand 1916 und der international nicht anerkannten irischen Unabhängigkeit gegen die übermächtige britische Krone ins Feld ziehen. Bewaffnet und doch wehrlos, zahlreich und doch zu wenige, leidenschaftlich und doch verwundbar bündeln sie ihre Kräfte und treiben ihre einzige Chance, den Guerilla-Krieg gegen die Weltmacht, bis ins Inferno. Doch die Waffen, die gestern noch ihr Ziel trafen, sind am nächsten Tag schon verbraucht. Der zweifelhafte Friedensvertrag mit den Briten zerbricht nicht nur die Widerstandsbewegung, sondern sprengt auch die Brüder Damien und Teddy auseinander. Viel zu spät verstehen sie, dass der Gegner längst erkannt hat, wie er sich die individuellen Interessen der Aufständischen zu nutze machen kann. Die radikale Konfrontation hat sich in innere und äussere Zerrissenheit aufgelöst - Damien und Teddy stehen sich im nun folgenden Bürgerkrieg als Todfeinde gegenüber und nur die Liebe zu Sinead scheint für Damien nichts an Reinheit eingebüsst zu haben."
  • "Set in 1920's Ireland, follows two brothers who join guerrilla squads fighting British soldiers for Ireland's independence."
  • "Drama bélico que gira en torno dos hermanos irlandenses que abrazan los principios independentistas de su patria. Como marco histórico está la Guerra Anglo Irlandesa (1919-1921) y la posterior Guerra Civil Irlandesa (1922-1923)."
  • ""Irlande, 1920. Alors qu'il est sur le point de partir à Londres pour y exercer la médecine, Damien O'Donovan est témoin des exactions des Black and Tans, des brigadiers anglais venus mater les indépendantistes. Outré par tant de brutalité et de mépris, le jeune homme abandonne son projet et s'engage dans la lutte armée contre l'oppresseur britannique, aux côtés de son frère Teddy. Les diverses opérations de guerilla auxquelles ils sont mêlés font peu à peu reculer le gouvernement anglais. Au point où celui-ci accorde l'indépendance à l'Irlande du Sud, à la condition que ses habitants, à majorité catholique, prêtent serment au roi d'Angleterre. Partisan du compromis, Teddy joint les rangs de la nouvelle police irlandaise, tandis que son frère poursuit son combat pour l'indépendance absolue de son pays." [(c) Médiafilm]."
  • "Ireland, 1920. Damien O'Donovan is leaving for London for an internship, until the dreaded Black and Tans attack his hurling mates, killing one for not speaking English. Thus sidetracked by the Irish War for Independence, Damien is convinced by his brother Teddy to throw his lot in with the IRA. Damien is a purist, an idealist, and therefore marked for a tragic destiny, while Teddy is a fatefully pragmatic politician. These differences between the brothers propel the film through its terrible final act, as the signing of Anglo-Irish Treaty establishes the Irish Free State, splits the Republican movement, and unleashes the Irish Civil War."@en
