Set in present-day Dublin, Intermission is a story of ordinary interweaving lives searching for love in all the wrong places. Colin Farrell plays Lehiff, a loner and petty criminal planning one last job to end his career of hellraising and start nestbuilding. On the other side of the law is Detective Jerry Lynch (Colm Meaney), a pugilistic maverick wading through the underbelly determined to make a difference and leave his mark. Cillian Murphy plays John, an incurable romantic who dumps his supermarket job to join forces with Lehiff and win back Deirdre (Kelly MacDonald) the love of his life who has moved in with Sam (Michael McElhatton), a married bank manager. Lehiff’s scam goes awry when Noeleen (Deirdre O’Kane), Sam’s violent ex wife attacks him during the heist triggering chaos.
