Synopsis
A modern romantic fairytale exploring the trials and
tribulations of three seemingly disparate sets of young people
whose stories gradually interweave as fate takes a hand one new
years eve. At the heart of the story are Greta and Pearse, two
star-crossed lovers falling hopelessly in love, writing their own
Brief Encounter for our times.
Standing on a bridge, forlorn beauty Greta wonders whether she
has really done anything worthwhile in her life. Elsewhere in the
city, fireworks pop, and Greta's fancy dress friends are gearing up
for the biggest night of the year. Meanwhile Pearse, bloodied from
a gangland beating, walks into her orbit, and pulls her back from
the edge. The narrative plays with time, 'jumps', and the irony of
coincidence befitting a small city, with dramatic 'reveals' as the
stories collide.
