The Irish spring some surprises

Who would expect marijuana and homosexuality to pop up in Irish movies? Their wit is no surprise, but it's usually applied to subjects like wakes, priests and the lottery.
In How About You the reluctant temporary manager of a home for some cranky old folks finds a way to make the holidays merry without alcohol. The outstanding cast includes Vanessa Redgrave.
Goldfish Memory follows the adventures of contemporary young Dubliners exploring their options in that beautiful city.
That title? Supposedly, goldfish have a memory only three seconds long so everything is always fresh and new. But how would anyone know?
