I’ve started to recognise complete strangers…

An ad sales team leader on a joyride to self-destruction. A Romanian bookshop employee who wants to try something new. An entertainment journalist who wants out. A restaurant manager who mourns a suicide. An English movie star who seeks credibility by slumming it in theatre. A Japanese florist who feels it’s time to take another chance.

Relationships are strained, snapped and formed in this modern-day look at life in a multi-cultural Dublin, as experienced in Shibari by Gary Duggan.
