BRÚIDIÚIL: It’s the Irish word for brutal. Fierce. Harsh. Severe. It’s a knife fight in the street. Rats in a cage, clawing to get out. But even in a brutal world there can be a ray of hope. Set in a completely re-imagined Dublin underworld, Made in China involves martial arts, snack foods, rogue cops, and savage low-lifes. A dreadful accident causes a violent tug-of-war between two criminal foot soldiers over the loyalty of a third. Self-loathing, guilt, and loneliness emerge in this frenzied narrative, which culminates in a blistering battle for survival.
