White Irish Drinkers
A coming of age tale embeded in 1975 working-class Brooklyn, in which two teenage brothers living with their abusive papa as well as their well-meaning however inadequate mother are caught up in a life of minor crime. Older bro Danny devises a daring plan to steal enough money for both to run away, timed around the mayhem of an upcoming Rolling Stones show. The delicate younger bro, Brian, eventually has an option: continue to be faithful to the bro with whom he shares a powerful love-hate bond, or use his hidden talent as an artist as his own ticket out of their dead-end existence.
