Closing the Ring

Synopsis

Oscar winning Director Richard Attenborough helms a deeply moving love story, beautifully interwoven between 1991 and World War Two, about how an American woman honoured a wartime promise, with a lifetime of denial - and how the discovery of a gold ring on a distant Irish hillside brought her back to life.
