Movie review
Nei Jordan builds it subtly with an eccentric premise; a parable about the Oedipus complex. A teenage couple in a coastal town in Ireland spend their days daydreaming about the strangers they meet along the way. A young boy is fascinated by an older woman he wants to bond with. Jordan has the ability to talk about difficult cases and love, as he did again in Derayed by Desire.
