Ourselves Alone

Three women in Belfast dream of escaping the political peril that marks their lives, but cannot because of the family loyalties instilled in them and their complicated relationships with men. Frieda is a would-be singer whose pro-IRA father disowns her, sending her into the arms of a Workers' Party organizer and anti-IRA zealot. Her sister Josie is in love with an IRA leader, but ends up carrying the child of another man. And Donna, who waits five years for her lover to emerge from prison and finds that the overbearing and unfaithful man wasn't worth the wait.
