Rush-based director Dave Byrne is anticipating the release of his latest film ‘Sunphlowers’ on 26th September and it will be on general release in cinemas around the country.

Sunphlowers follows Catherine, a middle-aged mother of three embarks on a journey of self-discovery, against the backdrop of secrecy and devastation her late husband left behind, changing the course of her grief forever.

Set against an agricultural backdrop, Catherine, [played by Anne McCrudden] finds her husband dead in one of their glasshouses. In putting his affairs in order, the extent of secrecy and destruction her late husband Michael has left in his wake, forces Catherine to take a long hard look at the direction of the remainder of her life. In the days that follow, Catherine must deal with very real-life issues such as rural isolation, organised criminals targeting vulnerable people and financial ruin. Catherine initially struggles to deal with the overwhelming responsibilities that lay ahead, whilst also providing emotional support to her three adult children. Pride and determination bring out a strength of character beyond Catherine’s own expectations, as she deals with each problem head on, resulting in a newfound sense of freedom and the power to forgive and move on with her life
