Pentecost
  • Overview

    Ireland 1977. Eleven-year-old Damian Lynch (Scott Graham) is called in at the last moment to serve as an altar boy at an important mass in his local parish. Following his last appearance as an altar boy when he knocked Father O'Toole off the altar, Damien is serving a 3 month ban from his only passion in life...football. To make matters worse, Damian's team, Liverpool FC, are playing in their first European cup final in two weeks time. Damien's father (Michael McElhatton) offers him a reprieve and crucially a chance to see the European cup final if he serves the mass correctly. Damien now faces a choice: either conform to the status quo or never watch his beloved Liverpool play again...

"Damien"(Scott Graham) is the only trained incense-burner available for the archbishop's mass on Sunday - but he has an history with this ceremony that nearly caused a dislocated hip last time! Scared of a game of liturgical roulette, the priest agrees that he can take the position again but his father makes it clear. A repeat of last time's disaster and the young man will be permanently deprived of his first love. Football. More specifically, Liverpool - and they have an European Cup final looming in just three days. Pressure is on...! A packed church and a serious pep talk from the father. Can it go ok? Football analogies abound as does some quite engaging religion-based comedy that doesn't send up the faith so much as the whole paraphernalia and procedure that accompanies it's ceremony and the poor lad is walking on eggshells! "Go out there and have the mass of your lives"... Will he, though? It's quite good fun, this, with quite a nice twist at the end.
