Irish Premiere

On a Friday night, after hanging out with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a nightclub, alone and on the pull. Just before closing time he picks up Glen. And so begins a weekend – in bars and in bedrooms, getting drunk and taking drugs, telling stories and having sex – that will resonate throughout their lives.

Astonishingly self-assured, unassumingly profound. It is one of the most satisfying love stories you are likely to see on screen this year. – New York Times

The director will be in attendance.
