English Summary:

Circle of Friends is a 1995 film directed by Irish filmmaker Pat O'Connor, and based on the novel of the same name written by Maeve Binchy.

Set in 1950s Ireland, the film relates the experiences of Bernadette "Benny" Hogan and her friends: Eve Malone and Nan Mahon. They are characterised during their First Communion: Benny is the beloved and well-fed only child of a tailor with a shop, Eve is the orphan reared by nuns and Nan is destined to be defined by her beauty. They grow up in the small town of Knockglen. Eight years later, Nan has moved to Dublin, and Benny and Eve have graduated from convent school and are heading to Dublin and university.

Eve's education is financed by the local landowning Westward Protestant family, who employed her father before his death. She has also been granted one of their estate cottages. She boards at a Dublin convent, while Benny commutes between home and Dublin, her parents being loath to lose her. They wish her to marry the creepy Sean Walsh, her father's employee, to secure the business's future.

Hungarian Summary:

A három barátnő, Bennie, Eve és Nan a dublini Trinity College diákjai lettek. Telve voltak a legszebb reményekkel, különösen a romantikus szerelmet várták az egyetemi évektől. Bennie látszott közülük a legszerencsésebbnek, hiszen megtalálta ideális társát a kölyökképű Jack személyében. Ám kis idő múltán úgy tűnt, minden a lányok boldogsága ellen dolgozik.
