Kisses

On the fringes of Dublin, two kids, Kylie and Dylan, live in a suburban housing estate devoid of life, colour and the prospect of escape. Kylie lives with five other siblings and her overworked mother. Next door, Dylan lives in the shadow of an alcoholic father and the memory of an elder brother who ran away from home two years earlier. After a violent altercation with his father, Dylan runs away from home and Kylie decides to run away with him. Together they make their way to the magical night time lights of inner city Dublin to search for Dylan's brother. If they find him, they may have the hope of a new life. But as the night wears on, the two kids have to rely on the kindness of strangers, the advice of Bob Dylan and their trust in each other to survive the night. (Zlín Film Festival)
