The Van is a 1996 film, based on the novel (the third one of The Barrytown Trilogy) by Roddy Doyle. Like The Snapper it was directed by Stephen Frears.

Plot summary

The movie is situated in "Barrytown", a fictitious working class quarter of Dublin. Brendan "Bimbo" Reeves gets laid off from his job. With his redundancy check he buys a van and sells Fish and Chips together with his buddy Larry. Due to Ireland's surprising success at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, their business starts off well, but soon the relationship between the two friends is strained, because Bimbo behaves more and more like a typical boss.
