    General 
    Comments    		 . "Butcher Boy", the movie, is the story about a murder that is revealed through the memories of a mentally ill man (Benny). Francie is a 12 year old boy who lives with his alcoholic father and depressed mother. Francie's family falls apart and his fantasy world grows more powerful. He travels down a course of self-destruction. 

    The story takes place in a small remote town in Ireland in the early 1960s. Filmed on location in Monaghan and Dublin, Ireland. 

    Damaged childhood, funny, and deeply tragic.
