Josie (Pat Shortt) has spent 20 years as the caretaker-crumbling petrol station in small-town Ireland. Despite loneliness and the fact that his neighbours treat him as figure of fun, he’s always good natured, absurdly optimistic and, in his own peculiar way, happy; he has his place - it might not be great, but it’s his.  Garage is the story of Josie’s hapless search for intimacy over the course of a summer, which sees his little niche, threatened and his life changed forever. This film has won several awards.
