Synopsis

Fatso is the kind-hearted owner of a rather bad take-away place in Dublin. His employees are a bunch of incompetent people, whom he keeps on mostly to help them survive. Also, he has a serious gambling problem resulting in mounting debts, and loan sharks are starting to make his life miserable.
