It is the 80s and 11-year-old Bobby O'Brien (Cillian Sullivan) dreams of becoming a great detective like his TV hero Kojak. Bobby sets up a private investigation enterprise with his best friend Nell (Naoise Kelly), who is the Dr. Watson to his Sherlock. When Bobby's older brother Oisín (Lewis Brophy) disappears, the young detectives get their first case. Durnin's debut feature is set in an ugly Dublin of uncertainty, economic crisis and gangs, and yet it is a film with a lot of heart. Unapologetic in both its direction and script (by Cara Loftus), it premiered at Just Films, Youth and Children's Film Festival (part of Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival).

The cast of Spilt Milk will also be partaking in a Meet the Cast event in the Complex at 14:00 on Mon 24 Feb.
