Categorie: documentaire

Barry McGurk is returning to the rural Northern Irish village where he grew up, with his English wife Madeleine and their young children Caoimhe and Oisin in tow. They intend to build their dream house and establish a wind energy business, selling turbines to local farmers. The estate car is laden with all their worldly belongings as they drive to the fictional village of Luganulk, along the way encountering; a fitness boot camp, led by Martina the slightly scary female instructor; an enormous tractor driven by a distracted farmer who nearly drives into them, and a lycra-clad "MAMIL" whom they nearly drive into. They eventually arrive at their building site where to Madeline and the kids' horror there is a caravan for them to live in. In the meantime, well-meaning but inept Chairman and Vice Chairman of the local GAA club, St. Mungo's, discuss the problems with the club. They are regularly unable to field a full team, and the sporting authorities are not happy. The club is also in financial difficulties, compounded by a bill presented to them by local plumber Davy the Drip. The McGurks settle into their new life. Madeleine takes the kids to a local history night and Barry goes to the pub, where it's the St. Mungo's weekly lotto draw. He signs the kids up for the Mini Mungos football team, after meeting the Chairman and Vice Chairman. They are delighted that Barry, a former star player, agrees to help out coaching the kids.
