It's 1960s Dublin and a young boy is obsessed with science fiction movies. He makes a friend and visits Walkinstown. Lot's of famous British actors and actresses appear. It's one of those movies that recreate the era but nothing else really happens. Best scene had Tom Courtenay on a bike. Another good scene involved Tushingham cleaning the floor and getting embarrassed. Does anyone else notice the familiarities between this movie and the later film Mickybo and Me?
