<p>At the center of the story are two brothers, Damien (played by Cillian Murphy) and Teddy (Padraic Delaney), whose lives are upended by the brutal realities of British colonial oppression.

<p>As the brothers take up arms against the British, their shared cause brings them closer, but the eventual political fallout of the revolution drives a wedge between them. Damien’s unwavering commitment to the ideals of the revolution clashes with Teddy’s more pragmatic approach to the new political reality. This ideological divide forms the emotional core of the film, showcasing the devastating impact of war not only on a nation but also on personal relationships.</p>
