They say a goldfish only has a seven-second memory; every swim around the bowl is new and when two goldfish meet, it's always like the first time. Goldfish Memory displays the headspinning sexual misadventures of boisterous, houseboat dwelling Red who develops an interest in the flamboyant David whose girlfriend, Rosie, hasn't seemed to realise that her man is gay. Meanwhile, Tom, a late thirties college lecturer and legendary sexual predator is sleeping his way through the class register. When Tom moves on to Isolde, his ex-lover Clara experiments with a lesbian journalist called Angie who happens to be rowdy Red's best mate. Set in the scenic fishbowl of funky Dublin, these sexy specimens swap mates and make mistakes in a hilarious chain reaction of events.

Boasting a superb ensemble cast, Goldfish Memory explores the lighter side of love - straight, gay, and inbetween - while trying to determine the exact nature of the ideal relationship. Expertly shot on digital video, Dublin looks good and sounds even better with a soundtrack featuring cuts from incredible Irish talent including Damien Rice, The Frames, Sinead Lohan, and many others. This film is a charming, sexy and intelligent look at 21st century Dublin. DS
