Berwick Film Society: Four Mothers

Maltings Cinema at Berwick Barracks  |  13 May 2026

In this droll Irish charmer, novel writer Edward looks at last to be finding success when the promise of a U.S. book tour beckons.

His other role as primary carer to his mother, with whom he shares a house, is about to be expanded when friends decide Edward is the perfect person to help them out so that they can attend a Pride event in the Canary Islands. The doorbell rings and domestic chaos ensues…

A loosely based re-make of the Italian film Mid August Lunch, here’s light-end amusement with some sensitive reflections on human relationships.
