Belfast: From the aftermath of the Northern Ireland conflict emerges the troublemaking rap trio Kneecap who, through their music, celebrate the resurgence of the Irish language and rebel against the establishment. But not everyone approves! Liam Óg, Naoise and teacher JJ become the political and rebellious symbol of an entire generation. Carried by pulsating hip-hop beats, KNEECAP is a rousing film that reaches beyond the boundaries of music to weave a fable about real life - addressing the human quest for identity, the lure of drugs and the passion for life. The Irish Oscar entry 2025 is an exhilarating comedy drama.
