Život sedamnaestogodišnjeg Kristija je na raskrsnici. Upravo je izbačen iz svog udobnog prigradskog hraniteljskog doma i preselio se kod svog otuđenog starijeg brata Šejna, koji živi u radničkom, sjevernom dijelu Korka. Što se Šejna tiče, ovo je samo privremeni aranžman. Ali Kristi počinje da se osjeća kao kod kuće, uključuje se u lokalnu zajednicu i stiče prijatelje. I, uprkos lošoj reputaciji svoje šire porodice, on se ponovo povezuje sa svojom prošlošću – iako Šejn pokušava da ga odvrati od te ideje.
The life of 17-year-old Christy is at a crossroads. He has just been thrown out of his comfortable suburban foster home and moved in with his estranged older brother Shane, who lives in Cork’s working-class north side. As far as Shane is concerned, this is just a temporary arrangement. But Christy begins to feel at home, becomes involved in the local community and makes friends. And, in spite of the bad reputation of his extended family, he also reconnects with his past – even though Shane tries to steer him away from this crowd.
Brendan Kanti je prokrčio svoj put kao jedan od najuzbudljivijih i najplodnijih irskih reditelja. Njegova rana karijera doživjela je veliki uspjeh sa Hozijerovim spotom za pjesmu „Take Me to Church“ (koji je od tada premašio milijardu pregleda na Jutjubu, zajedno sa dvije nominacije za MTV VMA nagrade). Brendan je 2019. godine režirao drugi kratki film – „Kristi“, koji je kasnije pretvorio u svoj debitantski dugometražni film, koji je svjetsku premijeru imao na Berlinskom filmskom festival.
Brendan Canty has forged his way as one of the most exciting and prolific Irish directors. His early career enjoyed large success with his video for Hozier’s ‘Take Me to Church’ (which has since surpassed a billion views on Youtube along with two MTV VMA nominations). In 2017 Brendan directed ‘For You’ (starring Barry Keoghan) which went on to win a Kinsale Shark and was nominated for an IFTA. In 2019, Brendan directed a second short film – ‘Christy’, which he has since made into his debut feature with BBC Film and Screen Ireland, which had it’s world premiere at the Berlinale Film Festival.
