Synopsis
After Belfast school teacher JJ (DJ Próvai) starts a hip hop act with Naoise (Móglaí Bap) and Liam Og (Mo Chara) where they rap in their native Irish language, they become the unlikely figureheads of a movement to save their mother tongue. While trying to overcome both the police and politicians who try to silence them, it seems their own anarchic tendencies might also sometimes stand in their way.
