While basic in concept 'His and Hers' charts the relationship between the sexes through short interviews with 70 Irish women.

The disarming documentary begins with a four-year-old's love and fear of her father and goes through every stage of life ending with a 90-year-old's feeling of loss and emptiness after her husband of 70 years dies.

The women are all filmed in their homes talking about the men of their lives and chronicling the various stages of life. And it is their unaffected honesty that truly is the spirit of the film. No 'Real Housewives of Dublin' in this documentary, instead the audience catches glimpses of everyday women from different areas of Ireland talking about the men they love, the same men they love to make fun of at times.

No introduction or names are provided for any of the 70 women, rather director Ken Wardrop allows their homes to provide the context.

It is fairly evident that the life of a suburban Cork mother is different from a farmer's wife further south – one wears heels for the school pick up while the other dons wellies to herd the cows. Having said that it is equally easy to see that they share the same sentiments, love for their men and the occasional eye roll at their men's expenses.

And while a series of snippets from a variety of women sounds jarring somehow it manages not to be. Each vignette flows into the next to form part of the larger narrative.

Produced by Andrew Freedman the documentary was funded by the Irish Film Board and won the World Cinema Excellence in Cinematography for Documentary at the 2010 Sundance Awards.

I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of documentaries on life, love and relationships.

'His and Hers', Tradewinds Auditorium of the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute at 8.45 p.m. today.
