As seen through the eyes of nine year old Sarah McInaw, this black and white film beautifully captures the remarkable dedication, skills and insights of her Grandfather Patsy McInaw, a man of wit and wisdom who has masterfully constructed over two miles of dry stone walls on his farm in Mountcharles, County Donegal.
