Fred (Colm Meaney) is a middle-aged man who lives in his car in a parking lot near the sea. In the car next to him lives the young Cathal (Colin Morgan). Cathal is a serious drug addict while Fred is in love with a piano teacher. Both men are very different but soon become friends. Parked moves along in the way that the viewers expect it to be. It's not bad, but not very exciting, not innovative, not unique. In my opinion, a good filler between two heavier movies but on it's own it's too conventional and too clean.
