Just South of the border a group of middle-aged men work in forestry and fixing cars. One of them tries to make it as a Country & Western singer but has to put up with hassle from zealous friends and a local enemy. This is different to other Irish films. It's set in the mountains and is a serious drama. However, it's too claustrophobic outdoors with the trees and looks overlit. Also, many indoor scenes look like a movie set rather than real locations? There's too much space here - as if there was a large crew around the actors? Thought it was quite interesting but there are better similar American titles e.g. Tender Mercies.
