Born at the same hour at the same hospital in Dublin, Pig (Cillian Murphy) and Runt (Elaine Cassidy) possess a similar bond akin to the closeness only known by twins. As they grow into adolescence, Pig cannot let loose these ties and his love becomes obsessive. Runt, meanwhile, attempts to spread her wings as she flirts with a bartender who seeks her affection. This violent depiction of powerful love is the directing debut of Kristen Sheridan, the daughter of director Jim Sheridan, whose portraits of Ireland include MY LEFT FOOT.
