She is alone for the only time of the day, and reads a romantic novel in a train. Pól, a blind man with asthma, sits on the other side of the table. His noises, questions and stories annoy her, so she lies to him. She says a worm is in a piece of his cake, making him panic and have an asthma attack. Catherine quietly hides his inhaler, which he looks for. As he loses breath, she places it just out of his reach. He falls over in his seat as she leaves the train. ==Cast== * [[Charlotte Bradley]] as Catherine, a businesswoman * [[Brendan Gleeson]] as Pól, a blind man who uses the train regularly * Eithne McGuinness as Nora, Catherine's mother * Phyllis Ryan as Theresa * Ciabhán Ó Murchú as Tea Steward ==Legacy== It is a [[cult following|cult classic]] among many young Irish people,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpNiVGOuQ9U|title=QXIR: Strange Disturbing Irish Short Film &#124;Televised Éireann}}</ref> who study it for the [[Leaving Certificate (Ireland)|Leaving Cert]]'s [[Irish language|Irish]] exams.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailyedge.ie/caca-milis-leaving-cert-3212688-Jan2017/|title=15 ways Cáca Milis for the Leaving Cert scarred us for life|first=David|last=Elkin|website=www.dailyedge.ie}}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} ==Other websites== *{{IMDb title|0416628}} *[https://web.archive.org/web
