Writer/director Liam O. Mochain created these delightful interconnected sketches inspired by true stories. All of Mochain's characters are seen off and on throughout this movie, as it is a small town and they interact.
I'm going to do a terrible thing and not name the actors. I can't pronounce their names and most of their credits are for their work in Ireland. Here are the most visible characters:
- Joe heads the cast as the proprietor of the lost and found office. He is a busy man, courting the local ticketing agent at the station, so he hires her son.
- Daniel is given only rudimentary training before he is on his own. Items turned in include an engagement ring, a baby in a pram, and an artificial leg.
- Outside we see Eddie, who is trying to get money for a ticket to Dublin, as his wife is in the hospital there.
- Gabriel is an earnest young man trying to pull off the surprise proposal of the century. You won't believe how many things can go wrong!
- Paudge needs a Mongolian Throat Singer for the grand opening of his Asian-themed pub. He is always hopeful (but cranky) as he invests time, money and labor on each new scheme.
- From her deathbed, Daniel's grandmother asks him to retrieve a bracelet left behind when her family fled the Nazis.
- Maya goes into the funeral parlor to use the restroom, then discovers she knew the man in that casket, so she signs the guest book.
- Sile is a lovely bride, even though she shows a strong Bridezilla streak. Will the groom show up?
I've ordered the DVD but despite the Amazon catalog not showing closed captions, my DVD has them. This is a real plus! ...smile...
