This is an Irish, coming of age, black comedy starring the highly acclaimed Domhnall Gleeson (True Grit, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and soon to be seen Shadow Dancer).When an Irish farmer dies, his sole heir Donal (Gleeson, True Grit, Harry Potter) is left some land; but Donal hasn't inherited much in terms of social skills. Despite the encouragement of his best mate Karl, he finds it hard to talk to women, and in frustration turns to the internet. He hooks up with Kiwi call-girl Kim (Gordon, Shameless), who has a business plan that would see her off her back and behind a desk, greeting punters at her own brothel. Donal's newfound means might provide her with the money she needs, but what might Donal be getting out of the deal? And what demand is there for the services of prostitutes in rural Ireland anyway?
