“Danny Boy” is a story about human imperfection which can be euphemistically called “losing one’s head”. Someone who has “lost their head” is not completely aware of what they are doing. In this story almost everybody has lost their head, except for one single person – the title Danny Boy, who, being a misfit, feels strongly alienated from the headless society. The film deals with the problem of loneliness of an individual and poses a question if one should level down standards in the name of social adjustment.
