On the fringes of Dublin, two kids, Kylie and Dylan, live in a suburban housing estate devoid of life, colour and the prospects of escape. Both have troubled home lives and after a violent altercation with his father, Dylan runs away from home and Kylie decides to go with him.
Together they make their way to the magical night-lights of inner city Dublin, in the hope of finding the possibility of a new life.
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, the advice of Bob Dylan and their trust in each other to survive the night.
"With two wonderful performances at the film’s heart, Lance Daly’s new feature is a sheer delight."
