Hard shoulder

One of the 'lost' Irish movies from between the two Film Boards. A group of Dubliners travel down the country to sell fire extinguishers. They are not welcomed by the locals. Downbeat roadmovie where half the cast disappear (not sure if this was intentional?) and a silly incest subplot develops. Slow-moving but well observed. Made for television this film captures pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland with its downbeat, gloomy, washed-out surroundings.
