For his directorial debut, Brian Durnin takes us back to 1980s Dublin with Spilt Milk. Written by Cara Loftus, the film is centred on 11-year-old Bobby (Cillian Sullivan), a Kojak-obsessed kid who escapes the grim reality of life on his council estate by imagining himself as a private detective. When his older brother disappears, Bobby puts his skills to use and discovers a world of danger.
Spilt Milk is in Irish cinemas from March 20th. A UK release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
In a gritty 1980s Dublin inner city neighbourhood, 11-year-old Bobby (Cillian Sullivan - Blue Moon) idolises TV detective Kojak and sets up a private eye agency with his best friend. However, when Bobby’s rebellious older brother goes missing, their investigations turn chillingly real — leading them into secrets and danger far beyond what children are ready to face. Nevertheless, Bobby’s brave, loving and inspirational Mother (Danielle Galligan -'House Of Guinness') leads him through these tough times.
