The witty, disarming and tender story of one Irish son juggling four very different mothers, Darren Thornton’s (A Date for Mad Mary) film won the BFI London Film Festival 2024 Audience Award for Best Feature.

An adaptation of Gianni Di Gregorio’s Mid-August Lunch (2008), it follows Edward (James McArdle), an up-and-coming novelist who’s forced to balance press commitments with caring for his elderly mother. Pressure to go on a US book tour is mounting, but when his three closest friends head off on an impromptu Pride holiday – and leave their own ageing mothers in Edward’s care too – he must juggle a burgeoning career with the care of four eccentric, combative, and wildly different ladies over the course of one chaotic and unforgettable weekend.
