Description In the strange village of Leenane (where madness, murder and blackmail are the order of the day), two middle-aged bachelor brothers, have buried their father. Years of petty bickering between the brothers threatens to escalate into full-blown violence. The sad, drunkenclergyman, Father Welsh, tries to keep the two from killing each other as his own life begins to unravel, while a local teenage girl develops a fixation for the celibate priest.
