Over a decade before 32A this film also captured the youth culture of late '70s Dublin. It's a far better and more entertaining movie too. Set mostly on a beach it's about a young man's relationship with a Protestant girl while he awaits his exam results. Starring the singer of rock band 30 seconds to Mars (!) and lots of famous Hollywood faces. This is the kind of commercial movie that should get made more often here instead of the embarrassing efforts we call Irish cinema.
