Synopsis
GAFF TOPSAILS tells of an Irish Catholic community on Canada's Atlantic coast. Set on Midsummer's Day it portrays the whole history of the town. Vigour and lyricism alternate to present an action-packed, intimate and frequently funny story variouslyreminiscent of LAKE WOEBEGONE DAYS, THE SHIPPING NEWS and GROUNDHOG DAY.
