Love is too precious... and life is too long without it.
Based upon a true story, A Love Divided is the dramatic tale of a marriage between Sean Cloney, a Catholic, and Sheila Kelly, a Protestant in 1950s Ireland - A happily married couple whose lives and love are severely tested by the powerful religious forces swirling around them.
When the time comes for their eldest daughter to attend school, the local priest Father Stafford, insists she attend the town's Catholic School. Objecting to this intervention, Sheila insists that the parents, not the church, will decide on their children's education. When her husband sides with the priest, however, Sheila feeling betrayed, secretly flees with her two young daughter to Scotland. Soon the social fabric of the village unravels as Father Stafford, convinced of a conspiracy, declares a boycott of all the Protestants in the village, forcing Sean, the village and eventually the entire country to take sides in what quickly becomes an international controversy.
With the small town tearing itself apart, Sean is forced to decide where his loyalties lie - with Sheila or the church. A Love Divided is a passionate love story about a brave couple whose convictions divided a nation.
