It is the early 1960s: In a small town in a remote part of rural Ireland, young Francie Brady's dreams of adventure and excitement, fuelled by comic books and TV, contrast with the grim reality of his family life. Francie shows a child's mischievous face to the world, but privately he struggles with the hardships of his family's imminent disintegration. His father is a drunk with shattered dreams and his mother has already been hospitalised once due to a nervous breakdown. Shunned by the local townspeople, he struggles with his sense of loss and pain as his fantasies become ever more grotesque and his behaviour more and more threatening...T244967911Director David Grant.
