My summary above sounds very mundane, but this encounter is anything but. Both actors are superb, and the film can be best described as hilarious yet chilling. The film opens with two women conversing in a car, while waiting outside a railway station. This may be to set the scene and give the viewer a better insight into their characters, but it really does not prepare you for the later scenes, which are incredibly ordinary but deeply unsettling (in a good way! This film is very powerful, and evokes strong emotions in the viewer). While it may seem unusual to have an actor with Brendan Gleeson's high profile appearing in a specialist interest short film that is 'as gaeilge' (in Irish), he was apparently an Irish teacher in the past. It is good to see that great entertainment can still be created without a dependency on expensive props and effects, all it needs is a good script, subtle camera-work and editing, and brilliant acting.

I'll have "Two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda."

The single worst Irish language films I've seen so far.

If you want to watch something in Irish, have a look at "Yu Ming is ainm dom" it's so much more enjoyable.

Absolutely phenomenal. Takes place on a train carriage, where a blind athsmatic man meets a woman. Instead of helping him, she ends up toying with him. The film has brilliant acting, good characters, and builds up the tension nicely. We can really understand both characters point of view and relate to them. There is an excellent supporting cast too. The worst thing was when it ended. This film shows that you do not need a high budget, expensive camera equipment and props to make a good short film. This was filmed on the scenic train route from Dublin to Wexford. This film can also be highly nostalgic as it features the early 2000s irish rail system.

Not only from Ireland, certainly remember this for my Leaving Cert Irish exams.

Has a bit of an interesting storyline, between the two main characters (the obnoxious annoying and asthmatic blind man: Paul/Pól and the attractive yet bitter businesswoman: Catherine) don't know who between the two feel sympathy for.

At least, I like it's set mainly on a train, I'm very interested in trains and railways.

As I'd agree with some viewers, Catherine could've lied saying she needs toilet facilities and moved seats quietly, even seeing how very nearly empty the passenger carriage is.

Although a sequel is unlikely, I doubt Catherine got away with murder, surely CCTV on the train and she handled his inhaler.
