Garage

Directed by Lenny Abrahamson

Produced by Film4 Productions, RTÉ

A bittersweet character study of a lonely, intellectually disabled man finding fleeting companionship in a small Irish village, only to discover the costs of his naïveté.

Due to a learning disability, Josie's life in a tiny town revolves around a menial job taking care of a garage that could close at any day. Things start to change, however, when David, the son of his boss' girlfriend, comes to work with him. Josie hangs out with David and his teenage friends, bringing them beer, and despite being a grown man himself, finds that the new company lifts his spirits. But his simple-mindedness blinds him to some potential legal dangers.
