'Turning Green'

Summary

An unhappy teen seeking a way out of Ireland turns to illegally importing and selling porn magazines.

"Turning Green," an amusing Irish coming-of-age comedy set in 1979, takes its title from the effect of chug-a-lug beer drinking upon 16-year-old James (gifted newcomer Donal Gallery). Pub patrons bet on his prowess, and James adds his winnings to the money he's saving to get him and his brother, Pete (Killian Morgan), back to America. Six years earlier, after the death of their mother, their father shipped them off to three maiden aunts living in a coastal town as idyllic as it is boring for James.
