As part of this year’s festival, Boyne Valley International Film Festival is delighted to host a Gala screening of Four Mothers directed by Drogheda’s own Darren Thornton and written by Darren and his brother Colin Thornton, followed by a post-screening Q&A hosted by Sinead Brassil.
Edward, a novelist saddled with caring for his elderly mother, finally finds himself on the brink of literary success. With pressure to go on a US book tour mounting, the last thing Edward needs is his friends jetting off to Spain for an impromptu Pride holiday, leaving their mothers on his doorstep! Over a chaotic weekend, he has to juggle his burgeoning career with the care of four eccentric, combative, and wildly different ladies.
