Synopsis:
Set in Dublin in 1967, the story of feisty woman,
who along with her seven children, learns to cope with
adversity after the unexpected death of her husband. As
Agnes finds her finances waning, she struggles to make
ends meet, and eventually winds up selling fruits and
vegetables at her Market Street stall. There, she
encounters a menagerie different from the one she mothers
at home, and is shored up by her best friend, confidante,
and neighboring Market Street vendor, Marion Monks.
Sharing an earthly laugh with Marion, tending to her
children, and dreaming of someday seeing Tom Jones in
concert, Agnes blazes through the days. When a French
baker, Pierre, takes an interest in her, Agnes realizes
that she still has her own life to live, even as she must
provide for her family... Suddenly finding herself coming
of age, she takes a second chance at life and love, while
always keeping her twin senses of humor and resilience.
