Set against the stark and beautiful landscape of the Sliabh Aughty mountains in the west of Ireland , Aughty is a documentary portrait of a unique place and people untouched by the boom and bust motions of the Irish 'Celtic Tiger', capturing a moment in time through the ordinary lives and traditions of Irish people in community, culture and resistance. In a landscape and population that is changing rapidly the film explores the daily lives and issues facing these small rural communities in the face of an ever-changing landscape. Aughty leads us on a poetic journey into rural Ireland through the relationships of people and place.
