Overview

Two children rescue an old woman from a gang of young bullies. She rewards them with a magic ring which enables them to "see things not as they are, but as they were." Along the way the pair encounter all many of quirky characters and witness quaint customs. This film is courtesy of Roy Spence and is held in the Irish Film Archive.

Twin brothers Roy and Noel Spence have been making films like this for over fifty years; with subjects including crafty leprechauns, creatures from outer space, fifties rock 'n' rollers and the undead. You can enjoy many of these fantastical creations on BFI Player.
