The Last Right

A morbid road trip reunites estranged brothers in an offbeat comedy drama written and directed by Aoife Crehan. Daniel Murphy (Michiel Huisman) flies home to Cork from New York to bury his mother. He sits next to an elderly stranger, who shares the same surname and passes away in mid-air. Consequently, Daniel is erroneously granted custody of the corpse of someone he never knew. His autistic younger brother, Louis (Samuel Bottomley), challenges Daniel to deliver the corpse to Rathlin Island in an environmentally friendly cardboard coffin. Thus begins a ramshackle road trip involving the siblings and a mortician called Mary (Niamh Algar). En route to the burial, family secrets are exhumed and Daniel discovers compelling reasons to remain on home shores.
