A comedy about how not to fall in love.

David Ryan (Jonathan Byrne) is left standing at the altar on his wedding day when his bride to be Fiona (Justine Mitchell) changes her mind at the last moment.  After an aborted attempt to face his friends, family and hysterical parents, he decides to escape on his honeymoon alone.  At the airport he drowns his sorrows and consequently misses his flight.

Claire Hunt (Alex Reid) is a waitress with a few problems of her own. She’s just fallen out with her married boyfriend Peter (Conor Mullen) and now been fired from her job at the airport café for abusing a customer.  They meet in the car park and David, too impatient to wait for the morning flight and far too drunk to drive persuades Claire to take his wedding ring as a deposit and drive him to the remote cottage that was to be his wedding present.

Stranded in rural Donegal, their worlds and personalities collide. Confronted by eccentric locals, infuriating obstacles, and with both ‘exes’ on their trail, an unlikely romance blossoms.

The film strips away the gloss of the traditional romantic comedy and offers a youthful ‘indie’ alternative.  It emerges as an energetic antidote, a raw and surprisingly intimate take on a universally appealing love story.
