So This is ChristmasKen Wardrop

As a small Irish town prepares for Christmas, some people struggle with the stress, expectations and loneliness the holiday brings. A nostalgic film full of compassion, Irish humour and plenty of tenderness.

14 years ago, Irish director Ken Wardrop also made an appearance at Docville with his award-winning documentary His & Hers, in which he managed to tell universal stories of love in a highly original, authentic and heartwarming way. A kaleidoscope of unique lives and personal experiences. This year he revisits the format with a film about all the emotions that the Christmas period evokes.  In a rural region in the Irish Midlands, we meet five ordinary people who openly share about their Christmas feelings, memories, loneliness, expectations... A film that touches your heart in an utterly charming way....
