Synopsis

A month after her husband’s death, Irish widower Kathleen returns to his grave with her family to mark the occasion with a picnic. Handing out her attempts at his self-professed ‘famous’ sandwich, she encourages everyone to say a few words while they eat. As they each try to express themselves in their own unique way, Kathleen’s teenage son Fergal slowly reaches his boiling point over what is being left unsaid about his father's passing.
