Trespasses

In the organizer's words:

"The violent conflicts in Northern Ireland in the 1970s are often euphemistically referred to as the Troubles. And it was in the midst of these "Troubles" that author Louise Kennedy set her debut novel "Transgressions", which Channel 4 has now adapted into a four-part mini-series starring Gillian Anderson ("Sex Education", "The X-Files") and others. Here, the conflicts are broken down to the lowest possible common denominator: A love affair. The relationship is between the Catholic primary school teacher Cushla (Lola Pettigrew) and the older Protestant Michael (Tom Cullen), whose son was almost beaten to death in the context of civil war-like conditions. This not only brings the young woman into conflict with her alcoholic mother (Anderson), but also into the sights of the IRA, for whom love for the "enemy" represents a real crossing of boundaries. With unforeseeable consequences for the mismatched couple.
