For all the petrolheads amongst you, screening at Nenagh Arts Centre on this Thursday, March 13th is ‘Black Ice’ which charts the story of Alice as she is seduced into the rhythmic rumbling world of local boy racers.
Set against the backdrop of a lawless border during the last gasps of the Irish boom – Alice is enticed from her middle-class world by the growling engine of Jimmy's slick, black, Skyline. Racing, dicing, drifting together on the winding back roads, Alice and Jimmy dream of rally cars and make great plans to escape the cloying town.
But Jimmy doesn't believe in playing it straight. He likes the taste of money and he likes to take short-cuts. Despite her brother Tom's warnings, Jimmy's criminal behavior only makes Alice want him more, while the greed that has taken hold of the community is about to claim its price in young lives. Two years later an estranged Alice returns home to deal with the aftermath…
Directed by Johnny Gogan and featuring a young Irish cast, ‘Black Ice’ screens at 8 p.m. on Thursday March 13th at the Arts Centre in Banba Square.
Adm. is €8 and tickets are available on the door or in advance online at www.nenagharts.com
