War of the Buttons is a 1994 Irish film directed by John Roberts, about two rival kid gangs in Ireland, the Ballys (poor), and the Carricks (rich). The setting is County Cork, where it was filmed on location.[1]
Although the film is usually classed as a drama[2][3], the tone that it chooses is frequently light and comedic, and it examines issues of war, the actions and consequences that it always carries, and how it can divide and oppose people that can be friends as easily as they can be enemies.

Storyline
The children of Ballydowse and Carrickdowse engage in battles where they cut of the buttons, shoe-laces and underwear of their captured opponents. This is to get the boys in trouble with their parents. They go to battle in mass groups of dozens, throwing stones and cutting off their opponents buttons etc. And sometimes they go to battle completely naked and exposed. In one such scene about 30 boys return from a battle to celebrate victory at a barn-house only to find some girls waiting for them and they get very embarrassed at losing their privacy.
