Synopsis:
When Davin McDerby (Cillian Murphy) gets his Dublin girlfriend pregnant, he runs from his responsibilities by tagging along with straightlaced Robert (Barry Ward) on a summer abroad program for Irish youth. Against the seaside backdrop of New York's Long Island, the pair seek work and love while grappling with their newfound adult independence away from home. While borrowing money from and generally taking advantage of naive Robert, Davin hatches plans to stay in the States permanently. But as his crush on the responsible, level-headed Aideen (Paloma Baeza) grows, Davin begins to reconsider his self-serving ways in this funny, low key coming-of-age tale.
Cast also includes Ingeborga Dapkunaite and Michael Liebman.
