In less than a year, Northern Ireland has witnessed several historic events: for the first time, Catholics now outnumber Protestants, and the nationalists of Sinn Féin, the former political wing of the IRA paramilitaries, have won the elections. At a time when peace in Ireland has been undermined by Brexit, is a reunited Ireland inevitable?

Brexit has reignited old tensions in the UK. The reintroduction of tariffs on imports from the EU has woken sleeping dogs and revived the Northern Ireland conflict. The documentary looks at the impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland, where the ghosts of the past still haunt the everyday lives of the population and thwart the part of the country's economic and political plans. Extremist groups are disrupting the negotiations between London and Brussels, challenging the peace policy and the future of Europe. If Brexit has already poisoned the atmosphere to such an extent, what will happen if the island of Ireland votes on reunification? The 1998 Good Friday Agreement opens the door to such a referendum.
