A heartwarming and heartbreaking tale about how Belfast people experience the biggest things in life - birth, marriage and death. Located largely within the majestic surrounds of the register office of Belfast City Hall.

“Best documentary of the week, probably the month and very likely the year, film-maker Guy King’s criminally under publicised observational collage of events at the register office at Belfast City Hall is an example of how powerful, not to mention how poignant, television can be in the right hands. There’s no narrator, just people. Tears will fall. Worthy of every award going.” Mike Bradley, The Observer
