Sing Street

In south inner-city Dublin in 1985, the Lalor family has some problems. Patriarch Robert (Aiden Gillen) is struggling with his architecture practice and his marriage, and drinks and smokes to excess. At a family meeting, he announces that in order to save money he is taking the film's protagonist - youngest son Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) - out of his expensive fee-paying school and moving him to a free state-school, which Robert asserts is of equally high repute, Synge Street CBS. Conor’s elder brother Brendan (Jack Reynor) ribs him about the change as well as about the state of the family unit.
