However, Amy Adams character exemplifies the power of Conscience. She has had a haphazard upbringing with her well meaning, ne’er do well father. She worked two jobs to get through college and has a fiance, a surgeon (power of ambition) who hasn’t committed to her after four years. For all her reliance on hard work, she wants to catch up to him in Dublin and take what she thinks is an Irish folk tradition allowing women to propose to their men on the last day of February in a leap year.

Overcoming foul weather she winds up in, I think, County Donegal at a tumble down inn. The owner, strapped for cash, agrees to take her to Dublin, a city he despises, mostly because his former fiance and former best friend now live there. Of necessity, they face hardships together and a relationship starts.

You see how it’s going. It doesn’t transcend the genre but I do believe the characters in their actions. We do care about them, and I’ll keep quiet about the details as some people may want to see the film.
