Netrvá dlho a Ray sa potuluje spolu s turistami, začne si s miestnou kráskou Chloe, mláti jej priateľa – skinheada a zabáva sa s americkým trpaslíkom, ktorý tu nakrúca surrealistický film. Dovolenka sa však skomplikuje, keď Ray zistí, že Harry ho chce mŕtveho a Ken má túto prácičku vykonať...

Angelin popol 1999

Film je adaptáciou rovnomenného autobiografického románu Franka McCourta, v ktorom spomína na svoje ťažké detstvo strávené v chudobných štvrtiach írskeho Limericku. Vydanie románu sprevádzal v USA menší škandál, keďže autorova rodina sa od neho dištancovala a spochybnila pravdivosť McCourtových spomienok. Samotný film sa pomerne presne drží knižnej predlohy, ale miestami pôsobí trochu chladnejšie. Príbeh sa odohráva prevažne v Limericku, kde Frank vyrastá s matkou Angelou a otcom Malachym, ktorého sklon k alkoholizmu ochudobňuje celú rodinu. Frank prichádza o niekoľko súrodencov zo svojej početnej rodiny a postupne vidí jediné východisko v tom, že sa presťahuje do Ameriky. Matka Angela znáša svoj osud trpezlivo a pre svojho potomka je ochotná urobiť takmer čokoľvek. Film zaujme naturalistickým zobrazením súčasného života v chudobnom a daždivom Limericku. Film získal Cenu divákov na 35. MFF Karlove Vary 2000.
