Orphans

«Are YOUR parents a burden?»

Peter Mullan · 101 min · United Kingdom

ComedyDrama

A group of four siblings reunite in Glasgow on the eve of their mother's funeral, and the children mourn their mother's passing in a variety of ways—sometimes heartfelt, sometimes bizarre. As a potential thunderstorm threatens to damage the city, the situation compounds itself.
