No one expects much from Christy Brown, a boy with cerebral palsy born into a working-class Irish family. Though Christy is a spastic quadriplegic and essentially paralyzed, a miraculous event occurs when, at the age of 5, he demonstrates control of his left foot by using chalk to scrawl a word on the floor. With the help of his steely mother — and no shortage of grit and determination — Christy overcomes his infirmity to become a painter, poet and author.

A British comedy film directed by Leslie Pearce

A mother and son spend three days together in a college dorm room after an extramarital affair uproots their lives.

A black comedy set in the contrasting worlds of a dilapidated North London council house, a middle-class dinner party in a Fulham mansion block, and an expensive therapist's couch. Drug-fuelled sex with a vicar and lustful longings for other women; are there some things a girl shouldn't share with her mother?

Benedict missed Mother's funeral. He was stuck in the Eurostar. In the offbeat as always, and a little pitiful, he joined the family home to find his brother, his two sisters - and in a merry bazaar, many memories. There, in the remnants of his childhood, in the intimacy of his room, he sees her - She is waiting for him. And she will not let go.
