The only disruptions from loneliness are the ping-pong balls, rocks and hens chucked through his window. (Apparently) he has two granddaughters who deposit mail, food or messages. Then, after 60-years absence, a letter arrives from the past. This time his life could be disrupted, permanently.

Critics' reviews

"A moving and ironic tale of loneliness (...) We smile, between Gaelic humour and senile dementia. We are moved. Above all, we realise that growing old is a tough business"

Camillo de Marco: Cineuropa
