Cecil & Noreen

What is Cecil and Noreen's secret? How is a love affair sustained over a lifetime?. Cecil Connolly is a man of few words. Each year, in the days leading up to his wedding anniversary, as he lies in bed in his Catholic nursing home, he takes his old cash-box from the bedside cabinet and removes his most precious possessions, the letters his wife wrote to him in the months leading up to their marriage fifty-nine years ago. And each morning, when she comes to visit her husband, Noreen too looks back on their shared life their courtship, their wedding, their friends and family, the journeys they made together and realises that her marriage, and her love for Cecil, is still evolving day by day. Cecil & Noreen is a story about ordinary people made extraordinary by their love for one another. Compassionate, funny and moving, it is a poignant, subtle and lyrical study of faith, family, and a couple's lifelong romance.
