The Drummer and the Keeper is a 2017 Irish film written and directed by Nick Kelly.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Gabriel (Dermot Murphy), a drummer with bipolar disorder, plays with the up-and-coming rock band Flood Tides. Due to his increasingly extreme and erratic behavior, his psychiatrist Dr. Flavahan (Annie Ryan) has put him on medication and ordered him to join a mixed-ability football team to help him deal with the side effects. There he meets Christopher (Jacob McCarthy), a seventeen-year-old goalkeeper with Asperger's who has spent the last five years in an institution. Christopher follows Gabriel to a gig, where he turns out to be startlingly good at packing gear, and Flood Tides hire him as a roadie. Christopher and Gabriel form a genuine friendship, but Gabriel's mental illness threatens to destroy everything he's worked for.

Broken Treasure: During Gabriel's final manic episode, he breaks into Christopher's institution and sets his beloved LEGO mansion on fire, causing Christopher to suffer a Heroic BSoD. During Gabriel's ensuing months of institutionalization, he spends part of his trust fund on LEGO sets so he can rebuild Christopher's mansion, then has it sent to him as part of his efforts to make amends to everyone he hurt during his episode.
