$\"Brooklyn_1Sheet_Mech_7R1.indd\"$ <\/a>
\nIt is the early 1950s. Eilis (Saoirse Ronan) is leaving her home in Ireland because her sister, Rose (Fiona Glascott), asks a priest to find Eilis work in New York. Rose knows that their widowed mother is manipulative and needy, and she wants more for her little sister than working at the local bakery. Eilis, scared but hopeful, makes the journey.<\/p>\n

Eilis rooms in a Brooklyn boardinghouse run by Madge (Julie Walters). Though extremely timid, Eilis becomes a sales assistant in a Manhattan department store.<\/p>\n

She meets Tony (Emory Cohen) at an Irish dance at the parish, and soon he takes her home to meet the family. He proposes and Eilis agrees. But devastating news arrives from Ireland: a close family member has died. Eilis believes she must return home for a visit. The couple secretly marry at city hall before she departs.<\/p>\n

In Ireland, Eilis tells no one that she is married and accepts the attentions of a young man with prospects, Jim Farrell (Domhnall Gleeson). Suddenly, Ireland does not seem as hopeless as before. Tony sends letters that Eilis puts in a drawer. She is caught in a conflict between her mother, her conscience, and Ireland.<\/p>\n
