In 1960's Ireland, a Catholic man's unexpected turn towards a new religion sends shockwaves through his family and community, challenging generational ties, cultural norms, sending him on a path to redefine what love, faith and family truly mean.

SYNOPSIS:

Both Sides tells the deeply personal and emotional true story of Sean and Maeve, a loving devoted catholic couple whose world is suspended when Sean converts to the Jehovah Witnesses. What begins as a quiet spiritual search soon drives a wedge between husband and wife, tearing through the fabric of their family, community, challenging everything they once believed, and forcing Maeve to choose between holding onto her beliefs or holding onto her husband. As Sean commits to his newfound path, their love is tested in ways they never imagined, with Maeve eventually winning custody of their children through the high court of Ireland. As the years pass, silence replaces connection and their once close bond becomes marked by distance and unspoken sorrow. As Sean is diagnosed with terminal cancer and dies young, Maeve is left to grapple with the weight of regret. This love story evokes a generational tale of the power of the catholic Church, an Irish man's true devotion to his faith, and the quiet heartbreak of losing somebody in the blink of an eye.
