When everything is said

In the bar of a provincial hotel, an old farmer Maurice Hannigan sits with a warm summer evening. He orders a drink five times - and each time he raises a toast for a person who played an important role in his long, difficult life.
For her beloved older brother, who was still a teenager. The attached to him.
For a daughter born of a dead.
For a talented journalist son-what is he like there, in distant America?
and-for her. Beloved wife and faithful girlfriend. For the best of women, after the death of which his light and meaning left his life.
Five toasts. Five stories. And in them - a whole life, with love and hatred, with successes and disasters, days of fun and sorrow. Life told how only the Irish can do it!
