Warring stepbrothers compete for the affections of a worldly Irish singer on the road from Shetland to Glasgow in a fearlessly funny, bold and beautiful drama with tremendous energy and personality. Lushly photographed, sexy, cool, anarchic and honest, with a trio of charismatic young actors at the center, Welsh-born writer-director-punk musician Philip John’s first feature is a simply drawn, but intricately thought out right-of-passage film that recalls the quirky nuance of Bill Forsyth and the rock-n-roll charge of Danny Boyle. Winner Best Film Newport Beach Film Festival.
