For five years she and a group of friends worked ceaselessly on behalf of John and all the British hostages in the Middle East, until the extraordinary day in August 1991 when John McCarthy stepped down from an aeroplane at RAF Lyneham.

Hiding behind the main narrative - a quirky tale of McCarthy's search for his family roots in Kerry - is an unexpected and moving love story, one that he never intended to tell: the story of his love for his mother and his grief and guilt over her death.
McCarthy is a good storyteller and he interweaves the story of his quest for his roots with a suspenseful will-he-won't-he sub-plot that hinges on whether or not he will ever be able to face opening the box.
McCarthy's increasing need to come to terms with his mother's death was driven at least in part by what he calls a 'desire to have a clear head and heart' before starting his own family.

The John McCarthy he plays is a product of three imaginations: his own, director David Wheatley’s and writer Bernard MacLaverty’s, all based on perceptions of a man they never met.

Portraying McCarthy’s hysteria, Colin says, does not impugn his courage; it is the greatest bravery of all to be shaking and in tears and still be polite and help others and to recover.

John’s anthropology and Christology indeed cast light on John’s pneumatology, and such considerations may still have implications for constructing a theology of the self.
John’s anthropology declares from the outset that: "No one has seen God at any time" (1:18; 6:46), and "no one can come to" Jesus except being drawn by the Father (6:44, 65).
