From beyond the very limits of our imagination comes a stranger. Who is he? Where is he from? And why is he so fond of our black beer?
Zonad (Simon Delaney) is from space…..probably. Or so the Cassidy family assume when they discover an apparent alien in a shiny red space suit and helmet passed out on the living room floor beside the drinks cabinet. The Cassidys and the people of Ballymoran make the intriguing visitor feel very welcome (and in the case of mother Mary (Donna Dent) and teenage minx Jenny (Janice Byrne) they make him feel very welcome indeed.
A nutty comedy from co-directors and writers John Carney (Bachelor's Walk, On The Edge, Once) and Kieran Carney (Bachelor's Walk, The Last Furlong), Zonad filters the nostalgic community of The Quiet Man through a 1950's sci-fi B-movie while Mel Brooks and Billy Wilder provide the laughter-track. Delaney delivers an old school star turn and the Carney brothers dish up a wonderfully out-of-kilter universe in this “Gleefully unhinged” (Variety) and “Uproariously funny” (Irish Times) new comedy film.
Zonad is in cinemas on March 17th.
