The Lost Village is an astonishingly compelling portrait of life in a small Irish village in 1925, a unique tapestry of village life woven out of Fair Days, court sessions, football finals and carnival dances, which along with such darker shadows of the period such as Civil War bitterness and unemployment, provide the backdrop for real-life triumphs, tragedies and minor scandals.
