Regarded by his neighbours as a harmless misfit, Josie (Pat Shortt) has spent all his adult life as the caretaker of a crumbling petrol station on the outskirts of a small town in the mid-west of Ireland. He is limited, lonely, yet relentlessly optimistic and, in his own peculiar way, happy. GARAGE is the story of Josie’s hapless search for intimacy over the course of a summer which sees his life changed forever.

“ ★★★★ The Guardian. Garage is beautifully shot and just as beautifully acted. ” more
“ ★★★★ RTE.ie. The great achievement here is making an Irish film whose story could be transported to anywhere around the world and still hold true. The setting is parochial, but the themes and emotions are universal. ” more
“ The Irish Times. Pat Shortt is brilliant as a simple soul in the quietly powerful Garage, writes Michael Dwyer. ” more
