Donkeys

Donkeys

After a string of disastrous relationships, sixty-something Alfred (James Cosmo) has an estranged lover, a daughter, a granddaughter and an illegitimate son.

The only person who has not grown tired of his wildly eccentric, self-centred approach to life is long-suffering pal Brian (Brian Pettifer).

Alfred now plans to take his buddy to Spain to eat fry-ups and sip cocktails as the sun goes down on their lives.

First, though, there is the small matter of making everything "nicey-nicey" before they hit the beach. Alfred's attempts to set the record straight are well-meaning but ultimately futile.

And when his life starts to unravel, he has to act fast to achieve his goal of bringing his family back together.

Starring: James Cosmo, Brian Pettifer, Martin Compston, Kate Dickie, Natalie Press
