Thanks for watching and for your compliments on the film, we really appreciate it 💚

[@NorthernAuburn]

This is one of the most important films to be realized. Visibility matters, and I'm not just talking LGBT. Visibility for good positive male role models, and challenging the norms of the traveler culture. Thank you!! ❤

[@AaronMeade-gj9pl]

very interesting short because it goes without saying lesbian affairs in Ireland actually a rare topic and to bring it to light is interesting

[@gregyoung2703]

Was an honour to work on this production ❤ You guys are all awesome!

Pleasure to have you on brother ❤️

The lighting and framing throughout this film is beautiful

[@theoceandragonfly]

That girl has a good Dad. Love won in the end. 😊

[@jamieoleary9732]

This should have been made into a full movie

[@timothygraham4304]

It was. This is the full movie.

[@NatLaBellaDonna]

You mean longer? I agree. One of the best shorts I've seen in awhile. I loved how much forgiveness, acceptance and love there is in this story. Is this the norm in Irish culture?

[@shirleydowd7102]

I always have said these films are the irish masterpiece and that is pure irish approval from brendan dowd and shirley brilliantly done

[@wlmt9706]

Nice little film it was well acted with the best ending.. Well done.. Please make more sweet movies like this

[@michaelhughes3645]

This as a full film would have been glued to the TV till the end

[@stevecheevers7337]

This was really great, was half expecting the usual ending to a Lesbian short with the father disowning her and Jack guy to do serious damage or even kill Jaime Lee. But nope the father (played by the great John Connors, if you haven't seen it check out Cardboard Gangsters, he's fantastic in it) just wants her to be happy. Also Joshua Donoghue as Jack was great, he also wrote it. Some really nice framing especially when Jack confronts Margaret in the van. I like when it comes to Margaret and Jaime Lee relationship, it's only hinted at and you ain't quite sure if it's just Jack being paranoid. If anyone is interested there is a great Spanish film that a won few awards in Spain called Carmen and Lola . After the lives of two Traveller women collide in the suburbs of Madrid, they are forced to make a difficult choice between love and continued acceptance from their community. Basically it has the same kind of plot as this Agape in one of them is to Marry another guy but she falls in love with another girl in her community. Interesting film as it goes into depth about how arrange marriages are done and how deep reilgion goes in Travelling community. Both actresses are fantastic in it. And like Margaret one of the other girls wants to be a teacher.

Honestly if this was a movie it would make my top 5 for the 2020s already!

beautyful. love it. thanks

[@swayer3635]

Amazing

[@tankgirl9324]

Wait, why exactly was Margaret forced to marry Jack? He doesn't seem to have vast riches, although that wouldn't have made it any better. It's a shame Jack turned out the way he did due to his father. Thank goodness there are men around to talk some sense into him.

Sorry I can speak English; but this? Most is not understood by me So I miss the point of the film

[@f.h.7671]

Sorry they even tell you it’s an irish flim!! Please complain somewhere else

[@ErnstMeijer-e1z]

I thought the Irish spoke English but it’s rather a dialect

[@f.h.7671]

@@ErnstMeijer-e1z of course it is english. it's obviously not gaelic. they portrai travelers who have usually no much academic education, you can't expect them to speak high standard english. that would be unauthentic and therefor poor work. btw scots, welsh and yorkshir folks speak different than what you assume to be english as well. i get that understandig nativ people may be hard at times so if you struggle to keep up, just turn on subs. that's why they exist ;)

[@tankgirl9324]

I'm an American so it is a bit difficult to understand their dialect for myself as well, however I can make out the gist of it. Here is the synopsis: Margaret is an Irish Traveller being forced into an obligation to marry fellow Traveller Jack. However, Margaret is actually in love with her best friend and Jack becomes suspicious of this.

[@adamlouie1503]

Dude it's not hard at all to understand them

ABOMINATIONS

[@hello_give_me_money]

I noticed the film is called agape as in the greek word used to express God's love. But God made male and female. When christians call homosexuality wrong they say it to warn the people. I know there are self proclaimed followers of christ who hate gay's and hope for bad things to come to them. But you hate the sin not the sinner.

[@GabrielBell]

The concept of sin is a unnecessary tool made for nothing but shaming people based on some fantasy book as valid for being used as a universal standard as the lord of the rings or V for Vendetta. Human rights is where it’s at and nowhere else. Believes are for personal inspiration and for that only.

[@prosperenfantinylosgeograf2721]

Agape doesn't originally mean god's love, not for the greeks at least. Also, the bible also says that no rich person will enter heaven, but I don't see christians warning rich people for some reason.
