Their relationship is a microcosm of the Irish Civil War.
There’s a metaphoric sense to the film but it also has a sense of humor within the concept. Rather than taking the viewer on a journey through the actual Irish Civil War, an event that will be remembered in history books, this story takes place mere miles away in a secluded, mundane, little village where the lives lived will never be remembered. Kind of a meta approach to storytelling.
