Orphans

About Orphans

A group of four siblings reunite in Glasgow on the eve of their mother's funeral, and the children mourn their mother's passing in a variety of ways—sometimes heartfelt, sometimes bizarre. As a potential thunderstorm threatens to damage the city, the situation compounds itself.

Orphans (1998) is a comedy film directed by Peter Mullan. Douglas Henshall stars as Michael, Gary Lewis as Thomas, Rosemarie Stevenson as Sheila, and Stephen McCole as John.

Released in September 1998, it runs 101 minutes. Written by Peter Mullan.

Shelv files it under church, funeral, scotland, and double barreled shotgun.

First Reformed, Breaking the Waves, and Courageous make useful companions to Orphans.
