Synopsis

The Basket case is a love story set somewhere in small-town Ireland, although the location itself is not important. This tragic tale of devotion could have taken place anywhere. Ambrose is walking calmly through a biblical storm, to buy among other things, a dead pig for his dying wife. But what is he building for her? And is Jesus eating too quickly? The Basket case is a dark, twisted, comic tale of love, devotion, death and debt, set in small town Ireland.
