The Van

Set in a Dublin working-class quarter, 'Bimbo' Reeves loses his job and, tapping his redundancy payout, buys a van to peddle fish and chips alongside his friend Larry. Ireland's unexpected run in the 1990 FIFA World Cup props up their venture from the outset, but the close partnership buckles as Bimbo begins to act like a traditional boss.
