What is Brooklyn about? Toggle content

In 1950s Ireland, Eilis Lacey, a young woman with ambition but limited opportunities, emigrates to Brooklyn in search of a brighter future. Leaving behind her mother and sister, Rose, Eilis faces loneliness and homesickness in her new life. She finds solace in an Italian-American community and falls for Tony, a charming bomb disposal officer. As she settles into her new life, Eilis must make a difficult choice between two men - Tony and Jim - and two countries - Ireland and America. Based on the novel by Colm Tóibín, Brooklyn is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the complexities of immigration. With Saoirse Ronan's powerful performance as Eilis Lacey at its center, this film explores the challenges faced by young women who leave their homes behind to seek out new lives in unfamiliar lands.
