Irish drama written and directed by Nick Kelly. The film follows the unlikely friendship between Gabriel (Dermot Murphy), the bipolar drummer of a rock band, and Christopher (Jacob McCarthy), an institutionalised 17-year-old with Asperger's syndrome. After his bandmates become tired of his behaviour, Gabriel decides to seek treatment and, after it is suggested he takes up some exercise and play football, he meets Christopher, the team's goalkeeper. As the pair bond over their shared experiences of mental illness, Gabriel realises his new medication is curbing his musical talent but will he stay the course and beat his illness?
