No human hand should maim the creatures of the air nor build upon the silent wastes of the deep that protect all that make their habitation in that sanctuary. After several years without leaving the family house, concern grows for artist Eleanor. Set next to a bird sanctuary at 'the loveliest house in Dublin', the Henryson family gather to discuss the future of their inherited house and of one another. Instead, their long awaited reunion becomes a platform for family and national politics.
