This wry comedy is about two Northern Irish songwriters who pursue the long road to big time pop while being dogged by the metaphysical shadows of the Irish Troubles not to mention by some real bullets
Fleeing Belfast, where they have been writing songs and gags for both the IRA and the loyalists, they team up with their old schoolteacher chum, the witty and doomed Monagh, and set off for English record companies, Eurovision and eclipse
