Set in 1950s based on Maeve Binchy's novel, Ireland Minnie Driver plays a young woman just starting at Trinity University in Dublin with her two best friends from school. It's here that she first claps eyes on Chris O'Donnell and she falls for him in a big way.
It's a tale of going head first into adulthood, dealing with sexuality in the midst of strict catholic upbringings and the hurt & euphoria of first love.
Parties, men, booze and struggling to keep up with college work which gets in the way.
A cameo appearance by Colin Firth as the landed gentry who uses and abuses one of Driver's best friend is also always worth a look.
Brilliant sets and very authentically done, it's a gentle winding story of love, lust and friendship and a coming of age.
No swearing, sex or salivation in sight.
