AIB People's Choice Award for Best Irish Film

Friends since they were small boys, Adam and Paul have withered into two hapless, desperate junkies, tied together by habit and necessity. A stylized, downbeat comedy, the film follows the pair through a single day which, like every other, is entirely devoted to the business of scrounging and robbing money for drugs. The difference today is that Adam and Paul – already near rock bottom – have finally run out of luck, credit and friends. Stylistically, ‘Adam & Paul’ is a cold, contemporary take on classic, physical comedy. Thematically, it is a minimal fairytale about two baffled, vulnerable children in the grip of forces too powerful for them to handle.
