Mackerel Sky

With a gun-toting granny, a dyed-blonde, ex-showband singing mother and a daughter grappling with faith, Mackerel Sky is a madcap account of a day in the life of the Brazil family. From an attempted birthday party through to a pedalo on a Butlin's lake, via a proposal and an eviction, the Brazil family learn there is kindness in saying goodbye.
