Synopsis:
Mary (11) lives a life of drudgery on a poor Irish hill farm in the early nineties. Determined to realize her dream of becoming a racing driver, she enters a cart race down the valley against the wishes of her parents and to the general scorn of the small community. By forging a relationship with her uncommunicative father, she gathers the confidence to tackle the rest of her life.
Comments:
A film about a young girl facing her family’s breakdown and discovering a world of opportunities beyond the farm. "The Race" is a girl-empowering story placed in the beautiful Northern Irish
countryside where, in terms of tradition and male/female relationships, nothing much has changed in the last twenty years.
