Orphans

Brought together by their mother's death, four siblings of a Catholic working class family are propelled into a comical nightmare of absurd mishaps and bittersweet mayhem. During a violent rainstorm, the three Flynn brothers and their wheelchair-bound sister gather on the eve of their dear mum's funeral to cope with their tragic loss. Each sibling, weathering the storm in their own peculiar way, retreats to a different world in their dark hometown of Glasgow where anything might, and does, happen. Winner, Best Film, at the 1998 Venice Film Festival.
