Ireland
1995 Fiction 27 min
When the captains of football teams are picking the teams in the play ground, there is always someone that nobody wants. The four-eyes with the big satchel, the train-spotter who doesn'nt know what a free kick is. A perpetuel, nightmarish offside. In short, the perfect victim to try out everyday sadism on. Or, how to film Woody Allen's Childhood in Ireland.
