On the Nose

Brendan (Robbie Coltrane) is a janitor at a university. He has a fondness for gambling, especially betting on horse races. Although he doesn't have much skill at it and he promised his wife (Brenda Blethyn) to give up gambling, his poorly considered bets have drained the bank account he'd set aside for his daughter's education. When his daughter is accepted to Trinity College in Ireland, Brendan has to come up with the tuition money, and fast. While doing his sweeping at work, Brendan makes a remarkable discovery which will turn his luck around.
