An 11-year-old searches for his missing brother in 1980s Dublin, in this ambitious debut that views the harsh realities of housing estate life through a child’s eyes.
In 1980s Dublin, 11-year-old Bobby (Cillian Sullivan) dreams of being a detective, just like his TV idol, Kojak. Offering to hunt down lost items on his housing estate with the help of his pal Nell (Naoise Kelly), the pair begin their biggest case after Bobby’s brother Oisin (Lewis Brophy) goes missing. Their hunt takes them into the dangerous underbelly of the housing estate where they live, as the harsh realities of addiction are presented through a child’s eyes. Brian Durnin’s ambitious and well-crafted drama anchors its stronger, adult themes in the sweet central performances of newcomers Sullivan and Kelly.
