A warm-hearted and rustic family drama, My Brothers sees distraught son Noel (Timmy Creed) cross Ireland in search of a replacement for his dying father’s watch, travelling with the help of his younger brothers Paudie (Paul Courtney) and Scwally (TJ Griffin). Using a bread van for transport, the three’s unplanned adventure quickly lurches into difficulty when the van begins to break down. Reliant on the kindness of strangers, the trio fragment as Noel’s dissatisfaction with his father emerges and drives a wedge between him and his two younger brothers. Episodically structured, My Brothers leads the three siblings through a series of trials that tests their maturity, their morality, and their commitment to their family.
