It’s 1967 in Ballygar, a hard-knocks community in Dublin, and Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates) and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey) see their dream of escape come true when they win a pilgrimage to Lourdes, that place of miracles that draws millions of visitors each year.

However, just before their trip, their old friend Chrissie (Laura Linney) arrives in Ballygar for her mother’s funeral, and joins the party. The glamour and sophistication of Chrissie, who has just returned from a nearly 40-year exile in the United States, are not her only distancing traits: old wounds are reopened along the way, forcing the women to confront their pasts even as they travel in search of a miracle. Their shared traumas can only be healed by the curative power of love and friendship.

 The admission fee is £5.00 and there will be a Soft Drinks and Wine Bar.

We ask people not to bring their own drinks as the small amount we make from the bar subsidises the cost of the film hire.
All films are supplied by Moviola Ltd. which is a registered charity.
