Brooklyn

Ellis (Ronan), a young Irishwoman, arrives in Brooklyn after a rough journey across the Atlantic, eager for a new and rewarding life in America. Shy, quiet and far from home, it takes some time for her to start opening up, but once she does, she meets Tony (Cohen), a charming Italian immigrant. The two strike up a romance and fall deeper and deeper in love, and when Ellis receives word that her older sister has died, she secretly marries him before making the return journey home for the funeral. Back in her small Irish hometown, though, everyone seems to be conspiring to keep her from returning to the country she's grown to love and the man she secretly loves even more.
