KINGDOM OF THE SHORE (4w, 2m)
The four Moloney sisters have a problem. What to do with the house that has been the family’s summer retreat for over fifty years. A symbol of their ascendancy to the American upper middle class from Irish immigrant roots, it has become a battlefield for clashing memories and poignant disillusionment. In this new comedy drama, an eventful June weekend leads the sisters to draw back the lace curtain on the disenchantment of Irish-Americans at the end of the rainbow when the pot of gold has tarnished.
