Synopsis
In Ireland We Rented a Car from Criminals follows Tom and Mary over the rocky hillsides of County Clare in search of their long-dead ancestors in the famine graveyards. Along the way, they meet an Irish dozen of storytellers — the landlady at the B&B, the tour guide at the stone fort, the old woman in the cotter’s hut, the sister at the parish records office, and the graveyard historian, plus farmers, singers, musicians, house boaters, and friendly Irish motorists. We also meet Aidan, the manager of the car-rental kiosk, who’s planned an unhappy ending for Tom and Mary’s vacation. (fringetoronto.com)
