I'm here to remember-all that I have been and all that I will never be
again.
If you had to pick five people to sum up your life, who would they be?
If you were to raise a glass to each of them, what would you say? And
what would you learn about yourself, when all is said?
At the bar of a grand hotel in a small Irish town sits 84-year-old
Maurice Hannigan. He's alone, as usual -- though tonight is anything
but. Pull up a stool and charge your glass, because Maurice is finally
ready to tell his story.
Over the course of this evening, he will raise five toasts to the five
people who have meant the most to him. Through these stories - of
unspoken joy and regret, a secret tragedy kept hidden, a fierce love
that never found its voice - the life of one man will be powerful and
poignantly laid bare.
Beautifully heart-warming and powerfully felt, the voice of Maurice
Hannigan will stay with you long after all is said and done.
