Content:
Regarded by his neighbours as a harmless misfit, eliciting idle kindness, benign tolerance and occasional abuse, Josie (Irish comedy legend Pat Shortt) has spent all his adult life as the caretaker of a crumbling petrol station on the outskirts of a small countryside town. He is limited, lonely, yet relentlessly optimistic and, in his own peculiar way, happy. But then, over the course of a summer, Josie's world shifts. Striking up a friendship with a new teenage co-worker (Conor Ryan), suddenly the lonely adult is drinking cans at the railway tracks with the local kids, and confronting his long-buried feelings for local woman Caramel (Anne-Marie Duff: Notes on a Scandal, The Magdelene Sisters). When one thoughtless moment threatens his new friendship and confidence, events spiral and Josie's life is changed forever
