Cor Chuil Aodha (The Coolea Men's Choir) was founded by legendary Irish composer Sean O Riada in 1963 - and continued after his death in 1971 to this day by his son Peadar and is based in the Cork Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region) of West Cork in Ireland. The Choir embodies the spirit of an area that is historically rich in both poetry and music. This intimate film follows the life of the choir over an eight-week period; charting its weekly trials and tribulations - under Peadar's watchful direction - culminating in a historical visit to the renowned island of Iona in Scotland with Irish President Michael D. Higgins in the year of the choir's 50th anniversary.
