Plot: Tragi-comedy from the margins of contemporary Irish life. Regarded by his neighbors as a harmless misfit, eliciting idle kindness, benign tolerance and occasional abuse, Josie has spent all his adult life as the caretaker of a crumbling petrol station on the outskirts of a small town in the mid-west of Ireland. He is limited, lonely, yet relentlessly optimistic and, in his own peculiar way, happy. But then over the course of a summer, Josie's world shifts. A teenager, David, comes to work with him. David likes him. They open up to each other and suddenly the lonely adult is drinking cans down at the railway tracks with the local kids. He is awakened to needs in himself that have never been met. And Carmel, from the local shop, who has always been kind to him, stirs feelings within him that he struggles to name. And then one thoughtless moment unravels the threads of faltering friendship. Events spiral. Josie's life is changed, forever.

Quotes:

Mama: Tears are God's way of paying you back for what He's taken.

Mama: If war produces one thing, it's many cemeteries. And in cemeteries, there are no enemies.

Le Ly: [leading her children through the panicking crowds] Don't separate!

Papa: Right is only the goodness you carry in your heart...wrong is all that comes between you and the love.

Steve Butler: [motioning the helicopter] Get the fuck outta here!

Soldier: We are the soldiers of liberation!

Steve Butler: [showing Le Ly some photographs] This is Mom's eighth dog. She has the eight ugliest dogs in the United States! [he and Le Ly laugh]

Steve Butler: [notices a little photograph on table] Is this your little brother?::Le Ly: What?::Steve Butler: Is this handsome little boy your relative?::Le Ly: My son.::Steve Butler: Ah, of course he is! [laughs] He looks a lot like you. A lot of spirit around the eyes.

Le Ly: I am insulted at the insolence of men. They don't respect women. I cannot believe such men have known a mother's love.::Buddhist Monk: If I show you a tiny baby killed by a bayonet and say it is his karma, we may cry for the baby, for the baby's karma and the bad karma of the soldier who killed it. But we must never use our emotion to deny the wheel of incarnation that caused the act. It is as natural as the movement of the sun and the moon.::Le Ly: Master, how can I tell him we must be friends and soul mates without being husband and wife?::Buddhist Monk: He has created much soul debt for himself. But if you fail to give him the opportunity to redeem himself, you will only increase your own soul debt. The man hate that blinds you will blind any man you find in a future life. If you turn Steve away, you will be rejecting your own redemption. Child, you have forgiven the man who raped you, destroyed your country, harmed your family. And this is how it should be. Your karma is mixed with Steve, to Tommy and Alan. The future, the past are all the same. If you divorce, you will only have to come back again and work it out again. The path to Nirvana is never being safe, but tricky and steep. And if you walk only on sunny days you'll never reach your destination. Choose well my peach blossom. [Recites an Asian proverb, then translates in English] A child without a father is like a house without a roof.

Le Ly: You still here?::Steve Butler: You said I could rest.
