Concept and Plot
The Windwalkers depicts a day in the life of imaginary wind enthusiasts Crazy Fred, Gustav Vind, Chris Ghostwalker, Jimbo James and Carmen Carbonara as they follow their dreams, follow their rituals and seek to make amends for events of the past. Gustav, for instance, is a tortured soul who lost his wife to the wind many years before the events of the film. The action was largely unscripted and unstunted with most of the final footage been taken in the first take. The Maynooth Media Society provided funding for the project after Heneghan's original proposal was accepted, however the final costs were well below the original estimate.

Famous quotes containing the words concept and/or plot:
“The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
