De Ierse filmmaker Lance Daly kwam in 2008 met Kisses. De film deed het de afgelopen jaren goed op verscheidene festivals en nu is er dan ook eindelijk een trailer vrijgegeven.
/Film beschreef de film in de review als "Lost in Translation met twee Ierse 10-jarige kinderen". Ze lopen beiden van huis en beleven een magische maar ook doodenge nacht op de straten van Dublin.
From director Lance Daly (Last Days in Dublin, The Halo Effect) comes the story of two young runaways living in the fringes of Dublin who discover both beauty and danger in the big city. Kylie lives with 5 siblings and an overworked mother. Next door, Dylan is growing up with an abusive father and the memory of his runaway brother. One day, after a violent altercation with his father, Dylan and Kylie flee. Together they make their way to the magical lights of downtown Dublin to search for Dylans brother and the hope of a new life. Dublin, as shown through the innocent eyes of our young protagonists, is a kaleidoscope of magic, wonder and mystery. But as the night wears on, Dublin takes on a darker character and the two children learn that they have to rely on the kindness of strangers and the sagely wisdom of Bob Dylan to persevere. Featuring two incredible breakthrough performances by Shane Curry and Kelly ONeill, Kisses is a tale of two children who test the limits of what life can become and in the process learn what they can do for each other.
Vanaf 16 juli zal de film beperkt uitgebracht worden; het is nog niet bekend of Kisses ook naar Nederland komt.
