‘Anton’ starring IFTA winner Gerard McSorley (The Constant Gardener, In the Name of the Father) is an explosive and gripping thriller inspired by actual events.
When Anton O'Neill returns home after five years at sea, he finds that 1970's Ireland is a radically different place to the one he left behind. Northern Ireland is in flames, and civil unrest has spilled south of the border to his beloved home in County Cavan.
Blinded by hatred and misguided patriotism ‘Anton’ is led into an illicit world of violence and is forced to choose between his family and his country.
Hunted and on the run, Anton is drawn into a shocking battle of wills with the law and former accomplices, ending in an explosive showdown in which he must risk everything to protect the woman he loves.
