Without any real end in sight at fighting this virus, all of this young man's hopes and dreams slowly vanish, creating a realistically claustrophobic sense of despair that's all too familiar to many of us. COVID ÉIRE takes place on a train, while switching between Keane (who also stars in his own short film) and news reports on the virus in Ireland and the rest of the world. While watching home made videos of people having fun, this person reflects on his life before this all started, carefully wishing everything would go back to normal.

Set in the heart of Ireland’s 1990s acid house scene, two young men are forever altered by a transformative rave, sparking a journey to redefine themselves within the music and the cultural revolution that surrounds them.
