Patrick Kielty and Seána Kerslake in a poignant, witty tale of unlikely friendship and finding hope amidst life's struggles in Ballywalter.
Patrick Kielty and Seána Kerslake star in a bitter-sweet comedy drama set in Ballywalter, Northern Ireland about the unexpected connections that can change the course of our lives. Eileen is a caustic, unrepentant university drop-out whose dreams of a successful life in London have fallen by the wayside. Back at home with her mum, she makes ends meet by working as an unlicensed driver in her ex-boyfriend’s minicab. Shane has exiled himself in Ballywalter following the break-up of his marriage, but now he’s trying to get his life back on track by enrolling in a stand-up comedy course.
When Shane calls a taxi to get him to his classes, Eileen answers and a surprising connection is made. As the two spend time together shuttling back and forth, a beautiful friendship develops, leading them both to a moment of realisation.
