REEFER AND THE MODEL

Ireland

Synopsis

Synopsis

Although Reefer has enough of his own problems he picks a girl up off the street who not only is too young for him but anyone can see that she is pregnant. He brings her to the trawler he shares with a friend from his days with the I.R.A., and a deserter. Reefer manages to stay clean of the law by transporting goods — a quick hold- up here and there to support the guerillas is of little significance. One day, however, during a bank raid — it is to be the last time — a policeman is killed. Reefer was finally going to straighten out his life, but now he must escape from the law. But the happy end seems possible: just as the cutter is about to leave shore with its fugitives a child is born into the family.
