Movie propaganda
Life is what happens in between.
Intermission is a raucous story of the interweaving lives and loves of small-town delinquents, shady cops, pretty good girls and very (very) bad boys. With Irish guts and grit, lives collide, preconceptions shatter and romance is tested to the extreme.
An ill-timed and poorly executed break-up sets off a chain of events affecting everyone in town. There's the hapless romantic and his sex-starved best friend, the hotshot detective and the crook he's after, a young girl on the rebound with an older married man (not to mention his deserted wife), an ambitious TV producer, abandoned fiancée, pre-teen trouble-maker - all unaware of how their choices are profoundly intertwined.
Add a botched robbery, some brown sauce, a woman's moustache, flying rocks and dancing single seniors and you have Intermission.
