Synopsis
The team behind 2004's indie triumph ADAM AND PAUL, bring you GARAGE, a razor sharp tragi-comedy about loneliness and fitting in. Josie (Pat Shortt) has worked as the caretaker of a run-down petrol station in his small Irish town for 20 years. He spends his days in comfortable monotony with a good-natured optimism, which only serves to alienate him from his neighbours who see him as a strange misfit. But Josie takes their mocking in his stride, only occasionally allowing his lonely existence to get him down. Then one summer, his boss hires a teenager, David (Conor Ryan), to help him out at the petrol station. An odd but touching friendship is formed, as the misfit finds someone to talk to at last. Soon Josie is joining David and his friends drinking beer by the railway tracks and enjoying a somewhat delayed adolescence. He even gains the courage to approach Carmel (Anne-Marie Duff) a kindly local shopkeeper, and ask her to dance. However Josie's newly found sense of belonging rests on a knife-edge, and all it takes is one thoughtless moment for his distinctly uneventful life to be turned upside down.
Synopsis
Garage is a landmark in Irish cinema. A beautifully portrayed cinematic drama interspersed with razor sharp shards of black humour, with acutely observed characters that leaves a lasting impression.

Synopsis
Garage is a landmark in Irish cinema. A beautifully portrayed cinematic drama interspersed with razor sharp shards of black humour, with acutely observed characters that leaves a lasting impression.
The story follows Josie (Pat Shortt) who has spent 20 years as the caretaker of a crumbling petrol station in small-town Ireland. Despite loneliness and the fact that his neighbours treat him as a figure of fun, he's always good natured and happy.
Garage is the story of Josie's hapless search for intimacy over the course of a summer which sees his little niche threatened and his life changed forever.
