Synopsis:
Set in 1980s Dublin, this semi-autobiographical story is told through the eyes of 14-year-old Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo), who seeks refuge from family tension as he struggles to fit in at a tough public school. Enter über-cool aspiring model Raphina (Lucy Boynton). Completely smitten, Conor aims to win her heart by inviting her to star in his band’s music video — with one small problem: there is no band. Forming a band with some new lads, the group pours themselves into writing songs and shooting videos, along the way discovering the power of music to uplift, empower, and create community.
