Overview

As word arrives on the remote island Inishmaan off the west coast of Ireland that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighboring island of Inishmore to film his movie Man of Aran, the one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy, if only to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life. The Cripple of Inishmaan is a strange comic tale in the great tradition of Irish storytelling.
