Handsome Devil
Ned (Fionn OShea) is a red-headed, bright and learned teenager who is forced by his dad (Ardal OHanlon) to stay at an all-boys boarding school where rugby is practically a religion and he is most certainly not a believer.He is immediately picked on: for his scrawny looks, for his love of old punk music, for his love of poetry, for his apathy towards the schools favoured sport and even for his sexuality, which will come to play an important part in the ensuing drama. Not long after arriving he is forced to share a room with another new boy, Conor (Nicholas Galitzine), a star rugby player who was kicked out of his last school for fighting. The two are polar opposites, with Ned even literally putting up a wall of belongings between each side of their room. But before long the two of them form an unlikely friendship over a shared love of music and mutual status as the new boys in the playground as they struggle to deal with life at their new school.
