Goofs
When it is dark and the protagonist's Saab is parked, the reflections of lights can be seen on the bonnet. This is incorrect as the site where they stop is located in a forest and the only other light source is emanating from the camper van on the other side of the car park - too dim and far away to be the source of the lights on the bonnet.

Interesting 28min short film (I don't give # or star ratings to shorts)

Ballykissangel fan? If you are interested in Irish films or were a fan of the Irish soap opera series 'Ballykissangel' then you will probably enjoy this short.

Mind you, 95% of the short is in Gaelic and the Gaelic is awkwardly delivered, but that is part of the plot. 2 Irish guys who speak English decide to speak only Gaelic to practice so as to get ready to fool some Irish gangsters into believing that they are real locals. But before that happens....

The title means "What goes around...." as in what goes around comes around (or in this short's terms, 'Treachery rebounds on the Treacherous'). Don Wycherley (Father Aiden from BallyK) wrote and stars in this short (along with Cillian Murphy). Frankie McCafferty (Donal from BallyK) directed this and makes a small, but effective, cameo appearance and a more featured role is played very effectively by Áine Ní Mhuirí (Kathleen from BallyK).

PS: Next time you watch 'Waking Ned Devine' watch this short before or after it (as they share something in common).
