Synopsis

The Curleys are a poor, eccentric, and loving Irish family. Oldest daughter Sharon announces she is pregnant and refuses to reveal the identity of the father. Her father, Dessie, begins to chafe at the derisive gossip aimed at his daughter, leading to a confrontation between the two. Before long, the family waits in the hospital as Sharon gives birth to the snapper (Irish slang for an infant).
