Synopsis: | comic drama set in the archetypal 'sleepy backwater' of Ballymore, where a young girl may or may not have been visited by the Virgin Mary on Christmas week. The local parish priest, Fr. D'Arcy , is kindly and open-minded, but his immediate superior, Fr. Collins, has one eye on the broader political implications of the sighting, especially if the Church is seen to give credence to it at a time when public confidence in their mission is already weak. Eager to keep a lid on the situation, Collins tries to gently ease D'Arcy out of the picture by threatening to send him to a retirement home for wayward priests and introducing a freshly-minted graduate of Maynooth, Fr. Rock, to supplant him. Meanwhile, as Christmas approaches, Fr. D'Arcy carries out an investigation into the incident, which brings him straight to the heart of questions about the nature of faith and the importance of believing in people as much as in religion. | |||||
