Evelyn

In the somber aftermath of Christmas, Desmond Doyle's life takes a dramatic turn when his wife suddenly abandons him and their three young children. Facing unemployment and the absence of a female figure at home, Desmond struggles to care for Evelyn, Dermot, and Maurice in a society where societal expectations are heavily weighted against single fathers. The Irish courts and the Catholic Church, unyielding in their convictions, decide that the only solution is to place the children in church-run orphanages. Desmond is faced with an uphill battle as he fights against all odds, not only for his own self-respect but also to protect the wellbeing and unity of his family amidst a time of great hardship and moral scrutiny.
