Set in contemporary Ireland, the story explores the loneliness and lies that can grow between friends. As twenty-somethings Johanna, Sonata, Mira, Cormac and Matt spend an evening together, their polite and civil conversation hides a mountain of skeletons that each character must confront about themselves. While everything looks serene on the surface, their pasts reveal that nothing is as it seems.—Kevin Murphy

It's Johanna's home, She's married to Eddie and they have a 4-year-old daughter. Johanna (Eilis O'Donnell) is carrying the child of another man. A friend. His name is Matt (Killian Scott). Matt is told of the pregnancy later on in the night. He is an unemployed, struggling filmmaker, a young man at war with the world, unpopular to some. Then there's Cormac (Raymond Boileau), a wheelchair bound alcoholic, who's in love with Johanna and rounding out the group is genteel Mira (Aine O'Sullivan) and brazen and beautiful Sonata (Siobhan Lam). Creatures of Knowledge is the Wood Allen-esque feature length directorial debut of Killarney man Kevin Murphy and the professional acting debut of Killian Scott.
