Uitgerekend wanneer heel wat Ieren afreizen naar Amerika in de hoop daar werk en geluk te vinden, verlaat de familie McCourt New York om terug te keren naar hun geboortestadje Limerick. Maar echt welkom zijn ze niet. De jonge Frank wordt door zijn nieuwe klasgenootjes gepest en uitgescholden voor 'Yank'. Vader McCourt is een dromer. Hij vindt geen baan en ontvlucht de verantwoordelijkheid voor zijn gezin in de lokale pub. Frank's moeder kan onmogelijk alleen instaan voor de opvoeding van de kinderen en op hulp van de familie hoeft ze niet te rekenen. Met een flinke dosis vechtlust en humor houdt Frank echter stand. Hij heeft namelijk een droom: schrijver worden en terugkeren naar Amerika.Credits
