"Conor McPherson's debut screenplay, I Went Down, became the most successful independent film ever produced in Ireland. His latest film, Saltwater..., a pacy, entertaining drama which McPherson also directed, is centred around the troubles of an Irish-Italian family who run a chipper in a seaside town. Like all his best work, Saltwater combines McPherson's gift for storytelling with writing that hints at the emotional depth behind everyday human behaviour."--BOOK JACKET.
