The debut feature from Brendan Canty picked up a slew of nominations and awards at this year’s Irish Film and TV Awards for its tender direction and impressive lead performance from Danny Power as the title character – a teenager with a murkily remembered tragic past, who after he’s kicked out of his latest foster home returns to Cork to stay with his estranged brother. As Christy tries to figure out his future, he soon learns things he would rather forget about his past, rediscovers the relationship with the brother he thought he didn’t really know and begins to imagine a home among people in a place he might yet grow to know and love.
