Synopsis:

Neil Jordan's lyrical Irish romance takes place in the small seaside town of Bray (near Dublin) and concerns two teenage friends, Jimmy (Niall Byrne) and Rose (Lorraine Pilkington). They spend their days roaming the cobblestone streets and waterlogged piers. To while away the time, Rose and Jimmy make up stories about strangers on the street. One day, while watching people at the train station, a sophisticated and glamorous older woman, Renee Baker (Beverly D'Angelo), stands out so imposingly from the drab townsfolk that Jimmy and Rose decide to follow her, obsessed with knowing everything about her. They follow her to the beach and at last Renee speaks to them. When she looks at Jimmy, he's immediately smitten by this mysterious woman. Rose, who has feelings for Jimmy herself, decides to make him jealous by trying to attract a young lion tamer from a traveling circus. But Jimmy is completely attached to Renee and his desire leads him to fateful consequences.

Best friends Jimmy (Niall Byrne) and Rose (Lorraine Pilkington) live in Bray a tired old seaside town not far from Dublin. During summer vacation out of boredom they observe people and contrive intriguing stories about them and the lives that they may lead. Jimmy finds himself so absorbed by a sophisticated and alluring blonde woman who stands out so imposingly from the drab townsfolk that they decide to follow her. After a few brief meetings the two finally become acquainted. Renee Baker (Beverly D'Angelo) is a leading lady in a theatre company in Dublin and at first seems to return Jimmy's feelings for her. But when she hastily detaches from him he becomes confused and suspicious. Is Renee hiding something from him and will her secrets threaten to destroy Jimmy's peaceful world

The two teenagers Jimmy and Rose spend their vacation at the small Irish sea-resort Bray. Out of boredom they observe other people and imagine wild stories about them. One day they observe the blonde Renee, and Jimmy is immediately fascinated by her and even follows her home. She, too, seems to like him, but for a mysterious reason keeps him at a distance.
