One of the best Irish movies of the decade is on TV tonight

It picked up the IFTA award for Best Irish Film.

An adaptation of the final novel from legendary Irish writer John McGahern, the drama centres on Joe (Barry Ward, The Capture) and Kate Ruttledge (Anna Bederke, Dying), a couple in the 1980s. They have returned from London to live and work in a small Irish lakeside community near where Joe grew up.

"Now deeply embedded in the life around the lake, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters that move about them unfolds through the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons," a plot synopsis for the movie reads.

Described as a "lyrical celebration of the everyday", That They May Face the Rising Sun earned rave reviews upon release and picked up the top award for Best Irish Film at the IFTAs.

Co-written and directed by Pat Collins and featuring amongst its cast Brendan Conroy (Hokum), Lalor Roddy (Michael Inside) and Sean McGinley (The General), the drama is airing on TV tonight on RTÉ One at 9.15pm.

It's also available to rent on the services Apple TV and IFI@Home.
