Set in 1980s Ireland, this feature film tells the story of three neighbours who hatch a daring plan to get rich by blackmailing members of their community.
They place a recording device inside a confession box, setting in motion a series of comedic and dramatic consequences that test their relationships, morals, and ambitions.
Una, Mikey, and Granny Kitty are at the heart of the story. Una, a woman trapped in a controlling marriage, struggles with her mental health but finds humour in the darkness around her.
Mikey, a witty altar boy burdened with responsibilities beyond his years, juggles his church duties with helping to run the family pub. And Granny Kitty, a generous and eccentric elder, provides warmth, mischief, and unexpected wisdom.
The film blends dark comedy with heartfelt drama, offering actors the chance to perform roles that are layered, funny, and deeply human. It’s a story about community, morality, and the humorous absurdity of desperate people in desperate times

Female 30 to 37
Una. Prone to depression, Una has a darkly hilarious view of the world. She is prone to outbursts but her heart is in the right place.

Applicants must have a talent for comedy and be able to remember lines. Will need to be accompanied by a guardian on set
Female 74 to 88
Granny Kitty. Has trouble apologising using words, instead showing kindness through gestures. Old fashioned in some ways and ahead of her time in others. Naive because she only wants to see the good in people. Recklessly generous, she enjoys staying up late, nights out, and the odd dirty joke
