Synopsis:

It's 1990, a new era for Martin Moone (David Rawle) and his imaginary friend Sean Murphy (Chris O'Dowd). It's the year of Ireland's historic victories, and draw-ings, at the Italia '90 World Cup - which, to Liam's delight and the rest of the family's dismay, has clashed with their annual pilgrimage to damp Donegal. It's a year when Martin starts secondary school and promptly develops a crush on his 'beautiful, mental' art teacher, Miss Tivnan (Amy Huberman), who he tries to impress with his slick moves at the school dance. It's a year with a Halloween raft adventure where Martin and Padraic meet the mysterious 'Island Joe' (Pat Shortt), a religious-themed stag party, an epic golf battle, an even more epic St. Patrick's Day parade, and when a family of Travellers move into the field next to the Moone home, it becomes the year that Martin Moone finds his first true love.
