Irish farmer Harry (Colm Meaney) has the rather odd idea that a man is measured by his enemies and decides to take on George, the most powerful man in town. Meanwhile, Harry's long-suffering son (Cillian Murphy) has fallen for George's maid and Harry's twisted plans are about to go in a direction he didn't expect. Based on an old Chinese folk tale this downbeat black comedy features stand-out performances from both Meaney and Murphy.
