Based on internationally acclaimed Irish author John McGahern’s award winning novel of the same name, That They May Face the Rising Sun is a vivid evocation of nature, humanity and life itself, set in a 1980’s rural community in Ireland.

Successful professional London couple Sarah (Shirley Henderson) and Tom (Alan Tudyk) are in deep financial trouble. Their situation takes a terrifying nosedive with the shocking behaviour of uninvited dinner guest, Jessica (Indira Varma). Faced with the moral dilemma of their lives – and dragging their best friends Richard (Rufus Sewell) and Beth (Olivia Williams) with them – they make a series of choices that could either be their salvation or destruction.
