Synopsis
In the North-East of the isle of Ireland, the border between the Republic of Ireland and the UK lies in the middle of a beautiful estuary, the Carlingford Lough. The Carlingford Ferry crosses the Carlingford Lough on a daily basis, bringing people from one side to the other. We meet several characters from North and South, with different points of view, making this soothing journey through the magnificent, green Irish landscape.
The short journey is breaking the rush of the day and provokes moments of inner reflection while crossing the invisible border, deep down in the lough. The film explores the concept of identity and community on an isle divided by not one, but 2 borders: a physical one between the UK and Ireland, and a mental one between seemingly incompatible opinions on the role and significance of the border. Opinions that often tend to change when personal factors surpass the ideologic.
But is the expression “four seasons in one day” only a reflection of the weather outside, or can it also be a metaphor for the weather inside these travellers?
