Our Father

Synopsis & Character Breakdown

On a wee island in Ireland, nestled in the quiet back of a pub, we find a father patiently awaiting his son. As he waits, the tumultuous sea churns outside, a piano plays within, and the sun gently rises.  Enter a young American, carrying a secret bigger than her backpack and too heavy for casual conversation. A daughter adrift, a father becalmed: Our Father ponders how these two disparate, unlikely threads might entwine against a backdrop of soulful melodies and unspoken wishes. Can we wander our way to connection and understanding when facing the truth is too much but turning away from it is impossible.
