Ernestine & Kit
Synopsis
Two ladies in their seventies drive through north County Sligo in a neat Japanese car. As they pass by village pubs and beaches, they imagine the terrible, immoral lives people are living today. Their one consolation is the innocence of children… Adapted from a Kevin Barry short story, this is an absurd and macabre tale about how the petty-minded destroy themselves
