Summary
Brendan Behan's famous memoir about his troubled youth formed the basis of this drama. Brendan is a 16-year-old boy from Ireland who loathes the British and is eager to do something about it. Brendan sails into Liverpool, but is discovered to be carrying the makings of a bomb; he's soon placed under arrest and thrown into a borstal (British reform school), where he finds himself surrounded by a collection of tough-as-nails English delinquents. Nominated for Outstanding Film at the **GLAAD Media Awards**. Nominated for Best Feature Film at the **Irish Film and Television Awards**. *"The inherent strength of the material as well as the integrity of the filmmakers gives this coming-of-age story restraint as well as warmth." - Kenneth Turan, **The Los Angeles Times***

Summary
Why would a healthy 25-year-old man choose to live and work in a care home for elderly and disabled people? This is the question that dejected Nurse Jen asks when she reluctantly joins the staff of the Easy Love Care Home. She is surprised to find James not only a live-in employee at this Scottish care home, with a group of dysfunctional, geriatric residents, but appearing to be actually enjoying himself there. Despite the incessant interference of the insensitive care home manager, the controlling Miss Thompson, James and his three elderly best friends hatch a plan to go on one last adventure - an illicit road trip in a bus "borrowed" from the care home to visit the Deep Sea World Aquarium. Nominated for Best Actress at the **BAFTA Awards, Scotland**. Winner of Best Film at the **Sydney Indie Film Festival**.
