An Academy Award-nominated short from first-time director Michael Creagh, The Crush is an entertaining story of young passion set in a strangely violence-soaked world. Eight year old Ardal’s (Oran Creagh) crush on his teacher appears endearing, but when he meets her entirely unacceptable – to him – fiancé, Ardal resorts to bold, surprising, and humorous action.
