White Irish Drinkers
A coming of age tale set in 1975 working-class Brooklyn, in which 2 teenage brothers coping with their violent dad and their well-meaning yet ineffective mother are caught up in a life of minor criminal offense. Older sibling Danny prepares a daring scheme to steal enough cash for the two to escape, timed around the mayhem of an upcoming Rolling Stones concert. The sensitive more youthful bro, Brian, inevitably has a selection: remain dedicated to the brother with whom he shares an effective love-hate bond, or utilize his concealed talent as an artist as his own ticket out of their dead-end existence.
