We're delighted to present a series of acclaimed Irish short cinema, presented in association with Screen Ireland.
Today: Before he made a splash on the big screen with In Bruges and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Martin McDonagh won the Best Short Film Oscar in 2006 for this pitch-black comedy, starring Brendan Gleeson.
A doctor informs a man, Donnelly, that his wife had died in the morning and brings him to his wife's bedside to say goodbye. A sad train journey home leads to an encounter with a strange and psychotic young oddball.
