✦ Synopsis
Humor
Conor is breaking up with his girlfriend, and doing a bad job of it. Taking to moaning on his best mate Matt’s shoulder and drinking with strangers in the bars of Dublin, one night he encounters a man he thinks he recognizes as a celebrity. But Conor is mistaken, the stranger is in fact a traveller from a different universe.
As the story splits into the infinitely possible, into multiple-universes, life goes on. Conor and Matt continue to hang out and chat and go about their lives. The stranger ends up lost. And Conor continues to fail to break up with his girlfriend.
A look at the smaller side of huge existential issues, the friends talk their way through the complexities they are presented with. And they continue to drink, while the universe continues to function.
But in the end it becomes apparent that though the universe will always muddle along, it may not be doing so in the way we imagine. We may all be living in a more dangerous world than the safe and relaxed bars of Dublin lead us to believe.
