Red Roses and Petrol

Amid a haze of cigarette smoke and uneaten food, the family of Enda Doyle (Malcolm McDowell) gathers in Dublin for his wake. A university librarian, poet, and rascal, Doyle has left behind a trail of unresolved issues, a dysfunctional family, and a disturbing mystery. A cache of self-recorded video diaries sheds light on who he really was and the secrets that he was never able to share. Based upon the acclaimed play by Irish author Joseph O'Connor, Red Roses and Petrol explores the complex dynamics of family relations with sharp humor and surprising turns, taking us on an intense emotional journey into the depths of what is true and what is love.
