My Brothers

Summary Set over Halloween weekend of 1987, My Brothers is the story of three young brothers' epic quest to replace their dying father's watch: Noel, 17, serious, weighed down by responsibility; Paudie, 11, cocky, not so bright, and dreaming of playing in goals for Liverpool; and Scwally, 7, naive, and obsessed with Star Wars (despite having never actually seen the films). Using a battered bread van, the brothers embark on a journey across the wild Irish landscape on Halloween weekend, grinding gears and screaming at one another to get to an arcade machine in Ballybunion. Along the way they are detoured by escalating brotherly battles in an offbeat, moving journey that can only lead them home. View more details
