In the narrative, we encounter a character named Edward, a thirty-something Irish gay man who writes popular young adult novels about same-sex romances. His books have gained traction on social media, and his publishers are eager for him to embark on a US book tour โ an opportunity that could catapult his career but presents a challenge: he must place his mother in a care home while he’s away. Edward is torn between his ambition and his love for his mother, unable to make the decision despite needing to do so. Meanwhile, his friends go on a holiday in Spain during a Pride march, leaving their own mothers with Edward. This unexpected addition to his care load includes Jean (Dearbhla Molloy), Maude (Stella McCusker), and Rosey (Paddy Glynn) โ each adding their unique personalities to the mix, somewhat resembling an Irish spin on The Golden Girls. As if this wasn’t complex enough, Edward is still grappling with his unfulfilled desire to reconcile with his ex-boyfriend Raf (Gaetan Garcis), a situation that seems irreversible.
