White Irish Drinkers
A coming of age tale set in 1975 working-class Brooklyn, in which 2 adolescent siblings dealing with their violent father and also their well-meaning but inadequate mommy are caught up in a life of petty crime. Older sibling Danny devises a daring system to take enough cash for both to escape, timed around the disorder of an upcoming Rolling Stones concert. The delicate younger brother, Brian, inevitably has an option: continue to be loyal to the bro with whom he shares an effective love-hate bond, or utilize his hidden talent as an artist as his own ticket out of their dead-end existence.
