One of the best newspaper images of recent years was the shot of elderly Irish emigrants looking out on the sea after coming back from Britain for a visit to the West. It was heartbreaking, and said more about the Irish psyche and Irish history than many books. If you’ve seen that photo you won’t forget it, and it will be at the forefront of your mind as you watch this excellent Irish-language film.

‘Kings’ tells the story of a group of men who left Connemara in the 1970s to find work in London. 30 years later they have reunited to have a wake for one of their number, the youngest, Jackie (Ó Tárpaigh). The decades have been kinder to some than to others, but all have their demons - and the death of Jackie has only made them even more vociferous.

Joe Mullan (Meaney) has become a successful builder but he’s hooked on cocaine. Jap Kavanagh and Git O’Donnell (O’Kelly and Conroy) have worked hard but have nothing to show for it, living in a rundown flat and drinking themselves into a stupor. Shay O’Meallaigh (Crowley) has a family and a fruit stall and is resigned to never going back to Ireland. And Máirtín Rodgers’ (Barnes) wife is about to walk if he doesn’t try to stop drinking. Five men with a lot in common and a lot to hide - and one very long night ahead of them.
