A screen ireland focus short film directed by aideen mccarthy

The Story

Meet Kevin an insufferable narcissist and social tyrant, whose laugh should come with a health warning and whose main hobby is insulting his closest friends. After years of inflicting emotional damage (and one honeymoon gatecrash), Kevin’s “besties”  Connor (who Kevin insists on calling Consie, a nickname Connor detests), Sinead, Shane and Mick stage a Last Supper intervention to finally dump him.  But with dinner running catastrophically late, Kevin traps them in a night of excruciating games, forced dress-up and relentless insults. As tempers rise, the group wonder will they ever get the chance to tell Kevin how they truly feel or will they be stuck going to his themed dinners forever? In the end all is revealed, but Kevin has one surprise that none of them saw coming…
