Description:
Set in 1994 Northern Ireland during the IRA ceasefire, best friends Vinny and Jonty party with friends, cut deals and make plans to escape small town life. The uncertainty and instability of the time conspire against them in Walsh’s vivid, lived-in portrait of disenfranchised youth, 90s rave culture and a turbulent period in recent Irish history. Balancing humour, wit and pathos, bolstered by great performances from a terrific cast including Anthony Boyle, Josh Finan, Martin McCann and Michael Smiley and a killer 90s soundtrack featuring Prodigy, Elastica, Chemical Brothers and Carl Cox, this is a propulsive, poignant period piece.
