Details

JJ and Howie are lifeguards on the second worst beach in Ireland. They dream of Banna Strand, the perfect beaches with 'tits and ass as far as the eye can see'. The jobs at Banna are unexpectedly vacant, presenting an opportunity for the lads. But smoking, losing the lifeguard manual and the dead birds on the beach mean their chances are slim. Until a young woman comes to the beach with surprising intentions and another is offered up to JJ as a way out. Bridget O Connor's comedy about ambition, dreams and the taste of Pot Noodles answers the question: what is the real reason for The Flags?
