Circle of Friends

Set in Dublin in 1957. Benny and Eve eagerly escape their hometown to attend college in Dublin. There they meet Nan, a girl who already knows her way around the university social circles from her days as a precocious high school girl. She introduces them both to Jack Foley, the handsome star of the rugby team. He is at first smitten with the beautiful Eve, but forms a bond with Benny, the one considered by many to be fat and unattractive. Whilst Nan chases Simon and Eve falls in love with another, Benny and JackÕs relationship reaches a crucial point. Starring Minnie Driver, Geraldine O'Rawe, Saffron Burrows, Chris O'Donnell, Colin Firth, Aidan Gillen and Alan Cumming.
