Yu Ming is bored of his life in China and decides to go to Ireland. He studies the language, but is dismayed to find that no one understands him when he gets there. A 2003 short film.

Starring Academy Award Nominee Stephen Rea as Murph, who has little to say to his teenage daughter. He wakes one morning after a drunken night out, to find that he can only speak fluent Irish, something he could never do before, and that he has completely forgotten how to speak English. The situation leads to genuine, if unorthodox, communication between father and daughter. There's nothing funny about fluent dysphasia...
