Over a chaotic weekend, Edward, a struggling writer, has to juggle his burgeoning career with the care of four eccentric, combative, and wildly different mothers.
Edward (played by acclaimed stage/TV actor James McArdle), 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.
Irish director and writer Darren Thornton (A Date for Mad Mary) and co-writer, brother Colin Thornton, adapted the Italian 2008 hit Mid-August Lunch into this extremely funny and charming tale that won the Audience Award at 2024’s BFI London Film Festival.
