A nutty comedy from co-directors and writers John Carney and Kieran Carney, Zonad is in cinemas March 17th (in Ireland).
Zonad (Simon Delaney) is from space..probably. Or so the Cassidy family assume when they discover an apparent alien in a shiny red space suit and helmet passed out on the living room floor beside the drinks cabinet. But Zonad is not a space cadet in the literal sense. This alcoholic chancer has escaped from a rehabilitation clinic. At first, Zonad tries to evade the warm welcome of the villagers, but the procession of wanton women and free beer soon gets the better of him.
