Anton And On And On

A film that TToH are looking forward with feverish relish ish stylish Antonish (sorry, Anton), directed by the award winning Graham Cantwell. The film stars Anthony Fox, who also penned the script, Gerard McSorley and the sexy Greit Van Damme. So, what’s the sca, a mhac?

When Anton O'Neill (Fox) returns home after years at sea he finds that 1970s Ireland is a radically different place to the one he left behind. Northern Ireland is in flames, and civil unrest has spilled south of the border to his beloved home in County Cavan. Anton tries to convince Maria (Laura Wray), the love of his life, to join him in travelling the world, but her family duties mean she is reluctant to go.

When Maria falls pregnant and moves into Anton’s family home he feels trapped by a life he doesn’t want and rails against the mundane normality of daily routine by taking up with a group of subversive militants.

Drawn into an illicit world of violence against the wishes of his family, he soon realizes the dangers of this new environment, but when he tries to back out he puts himself and his family in danger. Falsely imprisoned by Lynch (McSorley), a corrupt detective hell bent on framing him, he engineers his escape and goes on the run to Paris, but when his violent past catches up with him he returns to Cavan to take one last stand against his former comrades.

You can hear an on-set interview with executive producer Pat McCardle, producer Patrick Clarke, Anthony Fox and his leading lady Greit Van Damme here. TToH hope to have our own interview with the crew at a later date. The film will be released sometime next year. In the meantime you can log on to Anton’s website and enjoy the trailer...
