| Notes | The drama centres around 3 brothers and their sister who have come together in Glasgow for their mother's funeral. Each family member during the space of one night has their own story. Thomas stands vigil by the coffin. Michael is stabbed in a pub brawl which leads John to seek the attacker. While Sheila who is in a motorised wheelchair stays with Thomas until she is bored and then goes out on the streets. Her chair breaks down and she is rescued by a young girl on her way to a birthday party. I don't know if we are informed what Sheila's disability is. http://movie-reviews.colossus.net/movies/o/orphans.html
