Set in 1912, ‘Uisce Beatha’ (Gaelic for Whiskey or Water Of Life) is the true story of Tom, a young man who leaves his home in rural Ireland to cross the ocean on the doomed ‘Titanic’. But a night of celebration beforehand results in a twist that will affect Tom’s fate drastically…. Made without funding and filmed in many stunning locations across Cork and Waterford, ‘Uisce Beatha’ is a funny – and touching – true Irish tale
