Padraig: Fifties, a man whose only known one way of living and that’s farming. The current owner of a plot of land that has been passed down through many generations of his family. As a result, he religiously believes in the superstitions that have also been passed down. These beliefs have made him quite paranoid in his old age. He expects his own son to inherit the family farm one day.

Tim: Fifties, Oisin and Padraig’s neighbour. A simple man passionate about his work on the farm. Having grown up in the same environment as Padraig, he also firmly believes in these superstitions.
