Closing the Ring (DVD)

ID : 7091

Closing The Ring is a touching tale of love, life and devastation, directed by Richard Attenborough and featuring Shirley MacLaine, Christopher Plummer, Pete Postlethwaite and Mischa Barton. At the funeral of a former WWII veteran, the man''s daughter, Marie (Neve Campbell), delivers the eulogy to a church full of veterans who knew and loved her father, whilst her mother, Ethel Ann (Shirley MacLaine), sits out on the church porch, smoking and nursing a hangover. It quickly emerges that there is a lot Marie does not know about her mother''s past and the true story of her life. Closing The Ring takes us back to a time when Ethel Ann was young, lively, and optimistic (Mischa Barton). She is in love with a young farmer, Teddy Gordon (Stephen Amell), who goes off to war with his best friends Jack (Gregory Smith) and Chuck (David Alpay), but not all of them make it back alive. The plot lines intertwine with the story of a young Ulsterman in Belfast who finds a ring in the wreckage of a crashed B-17 and is determined to return it to the woman who once owned it.
