Edward (James McArdle), a talented novelist on the cusp of literary success, is juggling his work with the responsibility of caring for his elderly mother, Alma (Fionnula Flanagan). As the excitement of a US book tour builds, he is suddenly faced with an unexpected twist—his three friends decide to take an impromptu Pride getaway to Spain, leaving their mothers in his care. Over a lively and chaotic weekend, Edward must navigate the balance between his rising career and caring for four eccentric, combative, and wildly different ladies.
Winner of the BFI London Film Festival Audience Award, this uplifting comedy-drama follows an unlikely found family on an emotionally charged journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
"A wonderfully warm hug of a film. Just like James McArdle's Edward's new book. 'Four Mothers' deserves to be a bestseller." Darryl Griffiths, Movie Marker
