The Virtues is a dark, visceral, and unlikely love story between two strangers cast adrift. Joseph falls into despair when his 9 year-old son leaves for Australia with his ex. He walks away from his present life bound for Ireland to confront his past childhood. Stephen Graham stars as Joseph, a moral yet troubled man who’s lost everything. He’s compelled to travel to Ireland to confront the demons from a childhood spent in the foster care system.
