Introduction and Q&A with the filmmakers
Rugby player Jace meets aspiring filmmaker Charlie at a college party in Dublin - but their worlds are very different. Charlie is trans and moves in a circle of queer artists and creatives, while Jace is more at home with his rugby teammates.
When the party is shut down by the Guards, they end up walking the city together, sharing dreams, fears, and uncertain plans for life after college. A revelation from their shared past threatens their fragile connection, forcing Jace to confront the identity he's long taken for granted.

GIRLS & BOYS tells the story of rugby player Jace (@adaml_c ) meeting aspiring filmmaker Charlie (@liath.hannon ) at a college party. Both attend Trinity, but their worlds couldn’t be more different—Charlie is trans, her circle full of queer artists and creatives, while Jace sticks with the more straight-laced camaraderie of his rugby teammates. When the party is suddenly shut down by the Guards, the two find themselves alone in the streets of nighttime Dublin. As they wander the city, sharing secrets, dreams, and fears about life after college, a surprising revelation from their shared past threatens to upend their fragile connection. Jace must confront not only his past, but the social identity he’s long taken for granted.
