Synopsis

Austin 'Occi' Byrne is brought home to Ireland from London, where he was born after his mother failed to have an abortion. He spends his childhood with his alcoholic mother, being bullied by his peers, and feeling isolated much of the time. Although he doesn't know who his father is, he is certain that someday the father will return and meet him.

Later Occi spends years in a mental institution, and when the place is forced to close down, he finds work as a fisherman. While at sea, a death occurs on his trawler. Occi makes it safely back onto land, but things are not exactly looking up for him there either.

Ronald Moore
8/10

The use of traditional Irish instruments in the soundtrack adds a layer of authenticity and cultural richness to the film, immersing the audience in Occi's world and enhancing the storytelling experience. The music beautifully complements the narrative, evoking a range of emotions and leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

Michael Johnson
4/10

The choice of instrumentation and melodies in the film's soundtrack often felt generic and uninspired, lacking the unique and haunting quality needed to truly immerse the audience in Occi's tragic and tumultuous life. The music seemed to fall short in conveying the complexity of Occi's internal struggles and external challenges, resulting in a missed chance to create a more impactful and memorable viewing experience.

Margaret Gonzalez

The haunting melodies and melancholic tones reflect the struggles and hardships faced by Occi, making the audience truly empathize with his character. The music creates a powerful connection between the viewers and Occi's story, enhancing the overall impact of the film.
