FOUR MOTHERS
When his friends skip town, gay novelist Edward is left caring for four strong-willed older women in this warm, witty Irish drama.
Description
Gay Irish novelist Edward (James McCardle) longs for creative freedom and independence as he cares for his ailing mother (Fionnula Flanagan), who has lost her speech, though none of her edge. When three of his equally stuck friends take a spontaneous vacation, Edward is left in charge oftheir mothers as well. Suddenly surrounded by four stubborn, old-fashioned women — and further unsettled by unresolved feelings for his dreamy ex-boyfriend — Edward must decide when it’s time to stop living for others and start living for himself.
Darren Thornton’s heartwarming comedic drama brings two generations into lively collision while posing an essential question: When does our duty to our loved ones end, and our commitment to our own lives begin?
“Mothers—am I right?!? FOUR MOTHERS is warm, witty, and full of heart — a comedy about duty, chaos, and finding your own life.” – Jorge Molina, Industry Manager & Programmer
