It is then ironic that he becomes a hero for saving 7-year-old Polish girl Anna from a house fire, and more ironic because the real saviour was his friend Duffy, who dares not own up because he is on invalidity benefit. Friendship with Anna's mother Olenka softens Kieran's outlook on immigrants, and by the time Olenka and Anna return to Poland, he has changed for the better. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
