The star of Ken Loach’s MY NAME IS JOE, Mullan proves that his talent isn’t relegated to acting. As a writer/director, he has crafted a supremely entertaining motion picture.

The four children mourn their mother’s passing in a variety of ways, some of which are heartfelt and some of which are bizarre. As a potential thunderstorm threatens to damage the city, the situation compounds itself even further.
