Winner of the Audience Award at the 2024 London Film Festival, this Irish twist on Mid-August Lunch (PSIFF 2009) follows a shy, commitment-phobic gay novelist living with his elderly mother. When his friends take off for Pride weekend, he finds himself caring for four eccentric, combative and wildly different women.
