The story of James Joyce’s Ulysses, a recent adaptation of the most famous 20th century novel in the English language. The touching love story of Molly and Leopold Bloom, that Idyllic day on Howth Head, when they first had sex, when they were deeply in love. Those times are still powerful in their memories but reality and the death of their young son forces them apart, she into a steaming adulterous affair, he into refuge in sexual fantasies. |

| "... bawdy, irreverent, lyrical, compassionate, anguished, earthy, profound and deeply humane ..." The Sunday Tribune |
