A newly single bachelor moves into a hotel with other singletons, who are all obliged to find a romantic partner in 45 days, lest they be transformed into animals
Set in a dystopian future, this absurdist black comedy drama is really quite good. Clever and witty, it certainly opens ones eyes to a new way of storytelling. It also features two shots of modern Irish Rail units passing beneath the road bridges alongside the Royal Canal at Blanchardstown, a northwestern outer suburb of Dublin. The road bridges form part of the sprawling complex of routes that interconnect with the M50 motorway.
