Another super-rare movie from the Film Board. That's because it's really an Italian production but is set and filmed in Ireland. A clean-cut young man from Italy moves here to learn English. Then he goes missing with the goth daughter of the family he's staying with. Then the Italian's father arrives to find his son and teams up with the goth's father (Gleeson). It's a road movie with lots of faces from '90s Dublin nightclubs. There's a funny contrast between the Italian man and Gleeson's Northside character. Best scene: the fight at the car. Lots of non-Tourist Board shots of run-down housing estates. This is one of the few decent 'lost' Irish movies from the '90s.
