A musician from the Democratic Republic of Congo finds his peaceful existence in Ireland suddenly shattered when he made an irresistible offer by one of the nation's most notorious criminals. When Joe Juma's application for asylum was accepted, he thought he was leaving all of his troubles back in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Content with his job as a bank security guard, Joe was comfortable just coasting through life without a care. But these are the moments that life often chooses to throw us an unexpected curve-ball, and when Joe is approached with a dangerous but potentially lucrative offer, he is forced to make a decision that will effect the rest of his life. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In this drama from Ireland, a man looks back at his youth in the 1950s, when he grew into manhood in the wake of the War of Independence. Jimmy (Darren McHugh) and his best friend Willie (Joe Jeffers) are fairly typical teenagers who like rock and roll, comic books, and Mary (Joy Florish), a girl they've known since childhood. But while their lives are carefree, their families have some serious issues to deal with. Jimmy's folks, Arthur (Colin Lane) and Catherine (Marian Quinn), inherited a large parcel of land, but this inheritance has managed to put them deeply in debt; Arthur also refuses to make peace with the British and hates them with a passion. In addition, Arthur has long fought with Willie's Uncle Josie (Niall O'Brien); many years ago, Josie was Catherine's boyfriend, and neither Josie nor Arthur is willing to forget it. The feud grows from animosity into violence when Josie accuses Willie of stealing money from the local church. Broken Harvest features sequences in both Gaelic and English. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
