Finn MacBride, a man born with dwarfism, inherits an out-of-use train depot and moves there planning to be on his own as he is tired of the attention his condition brings.
Virtually plotless, this gentle comedy drama about human connection is instantly full of warmth and charm. Director McCarthy (who also wrote) doesn't have a great deal to do other than simply film a snapshot of the lives of the people within, but he does put over the wide open rurality well. Poignant, sometimes sad, often funny, always heart-warming. A definite treat. This is the kind of film that you can't wait to introduce other people to.
