On a remote island off the coast of Ireland, Pádraic is devastated when his buddy Colm suddenly puts an end to their lifelong friendship. With help from his sister and a troubled young islander, Pádraic sets out to repair the damaged relationship by any means necessary. However, as Colm's resolve only strengthens, he soon delivers an ultimatum that leads to shocking consequences.
Tickets are just €5 and include a cup of tea or coffee and even biscuits, which you can take into the small theatre and enjoy as you watch.
The tiny upstairs cinema is run by the local community, and shows a film every Wednesday night.
