The setting is an island peatbank, far from any habitation. The time is bright early summer. A man and a woman enter this landscape to cut peat for winter fuel. Before the sun goes down they will encounter shadows from the distant past and begin to come to terms with the troubling realities of the present. an iobairt (the sacrifice) combines poetic vision with a strong sense of atmosphere to show that the process of mythmaking is a vibrant and enduring art. |
