An Irish Goodbye

Bafta and Oscar-winning black comedy following the reunion of estranged brothers Turlough and Lorcan following the untimely death of their mother.

Set against the backdrop of a working farm in rural Northern Ireland, this Bafta and Oscar-winning black comedy follows the reunion of estranged brothers Turlough and Lorcan following the untimely death of their mother. Under the watchful eye of oddball parish priest Father O’Shea, the brothers’ pained reunion is worsened by the fact Turlough must now make new care arrangements for Lorcan, who has Down Syndrome.

A robust and dedicated farmer, Lorcan’s dream of continuing to work the land he grew up on is thwarted when Turlough decides he’s sending him to live with their aunt on the other side of Ireland. But when the brothers discover an unfulfilled bucket list belonging to their late mother, Lorcan senses an opportunity: he’ll only agree to leave the farm once he and Turlough have completed every single wish on their mother’s list - all 100 of them.
