Synopsis:

In a small Irish village, strong-willed Tara shocks the townspeople by having a baby out of wedlock and refusing to name the father. During Sunday mass she goes into labour giving birth to a baby boy. The town's constable, Brendan Hegarty, and Mick, a local landowner, vie for Tara's hand in marriage, but she refuses them both. When Tara instead falls for Tom Casey, an actor in a lewd wandering theater troupe called the Playboys, Hegarty plots to keep Tara and Tom apart. Winner of the 1993 Audience Award at the Würzburg International Filmweekend

A young woman, Tara Maguire (Robin Wright) scandalizes her provincial Irish village in the 1950s by having a baby out of wedlock, and refusing to name the father. She has a rare beauty and every man in town desires her, especially Sergeant Hegarty (Albert Finney). The arrival of a dramatic troupe stirs things up even more, especially when she falls in love with one of the "Playboys", Tom Casey (Aidan Quinn).
