Drama starring Luke Griffin and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Finbar and Danny are close childhood friends growing up in an Irish town. Finbar has a shot at glory as a professional footballer, but fumbles the opportunity. Aimless and depressed, he jumps from a flyover, but his body is never found. Some years later, an unexpected phone call sets Danny on the trail of his missing friend.
The title refers to the vanishing act of a failed young Irish footballer from his home on a Dublin housing estate. Initially a mournful study of the repercussions of Finbar's departure, the film takes on an altogether more humorous tone when his best friend (Luke Griffin) embarks on a Scandinavian odyssey to seek some answers. Griffin's journey provides a few oddly appealing moments and, although the film possesses the strange look of two different movies spliced together, the curious clash of tones and cultures is not without offbeat charm.
