Synopsis

Have you ever asked yourself, "What the hell am I doing here?"

Maybe you were stuck in traffic or toiling away at work or school.
Maybe you were on a bad date or celebrating an anniversary with your partner.
Maybe you were welcoming new life into the world or saying goodbye to a loved one.
Maybe you were sipping drinks on a tropical beach or cleaning spilled soda at your nieces birthday party.

Every so often, we all come to ask ourselves just what the hell are we doing here.

Socratic wisdom dictates 'An unexamined life is not worth living', and one guy took that seriously enough to leave his cat and king-sized bed at home in the Pacific Northwest for a few weeks, to bus, bike and train around the Southwest of Ireland in social inquiry and (self) examination. From Cork to Killarney, around the Ring of Kerry, up to Galway and the Aran Islands and back, he will meet fishermen, farmers, French women, a ferry captain, travelers, locals and dozens more in between to discover how people find meaning in life.

Life warrants questioning, so let's go out for a chat and maybe find an answer to just what the hell we are all doing here.
