New York City
In this dark and wicked comedy, spun in the great tradition of Irish storytelling, the impoverished island community of Inishmaan is dazzled by the “glitz and glamour” of Hollywood when director, Robert Flaherty visits the neighboring island of Inishmore to cast his upcoming film. Cripple Billy, who would like nothing more than to leave the cliffs of Ireland and his tedious life behind for the hills of Hollywood, hitches a ride and auditions-not knowing how this journey would affect his life and the lives of everyone around him.
