Frank McCourt

Táto séria sa ponorí do surovej reality života v chudobe a skúma silu ľudského ducha tvárou v tvár nepriazni osudu. S humorom a empatiou vykresľuje drsnú, ale dojímavú cestu formovania identity a prežitia. Pozornosť je venovaná rodinným putám, írskej kultúre a výrečnosti rozprávania, ktoré prekonáva ťažkosti. Je to pohľad na to, ako sa dá aj v najtemnejších okolnostiach nájsť svetlo a ľudskosť.
