SYNPOSIS

This is a touching fictional drama about two women Doreen (Sorcha Cusack) and Trishe (Nicola Stephenson) who share a passion for Daniel O’Donnell’s music and long to make the trip to celebrate their idol’s “Big Day.”

Both women have, in their separate ways, had a difficult year. Trishe has lost her business and life at home has been difficult. Doreen is recovering from losing the power of her legs in a road accident. She is now confined to a wheelchair and desperately fighting to maintain her independence.

A rites-of-passage story for two women as they each learn to face up to the future and find the strength in themselves to restore happiness and self-determination in their lives.
