An old poet who talks to bicycles and writes on walls—Dublin's beautiful chaos incarnate.
Seamus Murphy’s documentary examines Irish writer Pat Ingoldsby’s unique world. Ingoldsby’s poems and candid anecdotes bear witness to a visceral relationship with his beloved Dublin, fellow Dubliners and anything that catches his interest. Personal challenges, a sensitive humanity and a lifetime as a maverick have taught him to harness reality and reach well beyond it to avenge the banal with absurd magic. It heals him as it does us.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ingoldsby was a household name in 1980s Ireland for children's TV, making his later outsider status a national betrayal.
The film's title references his self-diagnosed 'peculiar sensation' of existing—autistic-coded language he never used explicitly, but shapes every frame.
