From then on there are changes: the children are taken to Belfast to live with their grandfather where they discover their own individualitytheir love towards one another binds them together, but a new self-awareness comes to the fore.In another part of the country, two other sisters find their world changing: Maria and Cecilia are born into a working-class Belfast family, one soon torn apart by poverty and disease.
