| Love and Savagery is
a story of passion, fate and living with the consequences of one’s far-reaching
actions. Set in Ireland in 1968, the film follows Newfoundland geologist and poet
Michael McCarthy (Allan Hawco), who travels to Ballyvaughan to examine some unique
rock formations but discovers much more than he could ever have anticipated. On
arriving in the picturesque Irish village, he meetsCathleen (Sarah Greene), a
beautiful woman who works part time at the local pub. The chemistry between the
two is undeniable, and quickly develops into a playful, flirtatious relationship.
Trouble erupts, however, when Michael’s persistence collides with the townspeople’s
hostility toward a foreigner’s attempt to intervene with divinity. Cathleen
has to choose between her desire to be with Michael and a religious desire that
she has felt throughout most of her life. Which will she choose? The love of a
man, or the love of God? Can she love both? Is she strong enough to make the right
choice? Featuring two powerful lead performances, and taking full advantage of
the verdant Irish landscape, Love and Savagery is an enchanting old-fashioned
love story.
