\n\tFull details of an under-the-radar and low-budget Irish feature starring Barry Keoghan<\/a> have been revealed alongside a couple of first look images from the film.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLemonade,\u201d written and directed by documentary filmmaker Kim Bartley in her narrative feature debut, was shot earlier this year in Dublin. Set amid Ireland\u2019s care system, the film is described as a story about \u201cfirst loves, second chances and the power of human connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film follows teenager Danny, who after making a mistake that could derail his future, unexpectedly reconnects with Josh, a social worker who once tried to help him but whose own mistakes drove them apart. When their paths cross again, Josh becomes both mentor and mirror, guiding Danny on his journey to manhood- through first love and loves lost. Along the way Danny discovers that family is not always the one you are born into, but the one that believes in you when no one else will.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlaying the lead role of Danny is rising Irish star Lewis Brophy, recently seen in acclaimed local feature and Berlinale prizewinner \u201cChristy.\u201d Keoghan, meanwhile, stars as Josh. The principal cast also includes Carla Tous, Eileen Walsh and Imelda May. <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking to Variety ahead of Cannes, Keoghan discussed \u201cLemonade,\u201d describing it as having considerable parallels with his own upbringing as a foster child in Dublin. \u201cThere are moments in \u2018Lemonade\u2019 when I was like, this is too to-the-bone,\u201d he said. \u201cHonestly, it makes me emotional just chatting about it, but it\u2019s beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBehind the camera on the feature, Colm Hogan served as cinematographer, Paul Mullen as editor, Tamara Conboy as production designer and Louise Stanton as costume designer. John Brennan,\u00a0Daniel Bodsworth,\u00a0Rob Hughes and Mark Langlay-Smith oversaw sound, while the original score was written by Si\u00f4n Trefor, Ioana \u0218elaru and Galia Arad. <\/p>\n
