On the fringes of Dublin, young Dylan runs away from home and Kylie decides to run away with him. Together they make their way to the magical night time lights of inner city Dublin. Director Lance Daly’s vision of Dublin, as seen through the innocent eyes of our protagonists, is a kaleidoscope of magic, wonder and mystery. But as the night wears on, and Dublin takes on a darker character, the two kids have to rely on the kindness of strangers and their trust in each other to survive the night. “Daly catches the spirit of two resourceful kids who have a lot of gumption to go with their grave suspicion of grownups and his two young stars are unforgettable. He paints a wretched picture of Dublin’s seedy underbelly. Yet by keeping his focus on the two remarkable youngsters without an ounce of sentimentality he succeeds in making something true and satisfying.” — Ray Bennett, The Hollywood Reporter. Winner, Best Irish Feature Film, 2008 Galway Film Fleadh; 2008 Toronto, Locarno, Telluride, London Film Festivals. Many thanks to Ben Keenan of Fastnet Films in Dublin and to D. for making this print available.
