This charming, fairy tale-like drama featuring enchanting performances from its non-professional leads, tells the story of two children living in a housing estate on the fringes of Dublin devoid of life, colour and future prospects. Kylie (Kelly O’Neill) lives with five other siblings and her overworked mother, while her best mate Dylan (Shane Curry) lives next door in the shadow of an alcoholic father and the memory of an elder brother who ran away from home. After a violent encounter with Dylan’s father, the youngsters run away from home towards the magical lights of inner city Dublin in search of Dylan’s brother and the possibility of a better life.
