When vulnerable 17-year-old Christy (Danny Power) is thrown out of his foster home, he moves in with his estranged older brother Shane (Diarmuid Noyes), once troubled but now gainfully employed, with a loving partner (Emma Willis) and a new baby.  Christy begins to feel at home in Knocknaheeny, reconnecting with reprobate cousins (despite Shane’s firm warning to the contrary), making new friends and finding a surprising niche for himself within the community.  But the brothers must come to terms with the trauma of their past before they can forge a healthy future.

This modest gem of a film is so authentic in tone and so strong in its sense of people and place, that it feels as if it has been co-authored by the working class community it represents (not least the rapping kids of the Kabin Crew).

There will be an Open Captioned screening at 16.00 on Wednesday, September 3rd.
