Christy plot

Christy, seventeen, is forced to move in with his estranged older half-brother after being kicked out of his suburban foster home. While his brother sees the arrangement as temporary, Christy begins to fit in in Cork’s working-class Northside, making friends and reconnecting with his past. Determined to give Christy a better future, his brother faces difficult choices that could drive a wedge between them. After so many years apart, the brothers must now reconcile their turbulent pasts and decide what the future holds.

After running into trouble again with a host family, Christy is placed with his half-brother Shane [Diarmuid Noyes], from whom he has been estranged since the death of their mother. For Shane, it's a temporary solution, especially since Christy is almost 18. In Cork, Christy falls in with a group of young people, but a manipulative cousin [Lewis Brophy] threatens to get him back into trouble. This coming-of-age drama isn't remarkable in terms of plot, but scores highly thanks to the natural acting of the young cast. The casual interactions during a birthday party and on Bonfire Night, in particular, lend it a unique sense of authenticity. At the end, stick around for a rap video in which four young cast members wittily describe their lives in Cork. Despite the heavy subject matter, it will leave you with a smile.
