Finn O’Connor is a young, ambitious but penniless actor in Dublin. He’s a hard worker and dedicated, but he just can’t seem to catch a break. To pay the bills, he works at Luna, Dublin’s most exclusive restaurant.
When world-famous director Brendan Bloom arrives at Luna for dinner, Finn sees an opportunity to further his career. Flouting accepted etiquette, he boldly takes his chance to talk to the auteur. This decision is the catalyst for a twisted sequence of events that will change both men’s lives forever, culminating in the performance of a lifetime from our young waiter.
