The Unholylands
In this Northern Irish comedy, two law student stepbrothers plan to throw one final university house party before joining their dad’s law firm - if they can outsmart him first.
Set in Northern Ireland, this raucous coming-of-age comedy follows law student stepbrothers Michael and Scott as they face the end of their university days and the terrifying prospect of adulthood. Determined to go out in style, they plan one last legendary house party before swapping their student lives for careers in their father’s law firm. There’s only one problem: their dad, a stern lawyer with a reputation to protect, has forbidden the party and sent a colleague to keep an eye on them.
What follows is a night of chaos, mischief and unexpected self-discovery as Michael and Scott attempt to outwit the watchful eye of authority. Along the way, they navigate the bittersweet realities of friendship, responsibility and growing up, all while maintaining the sharp Northern Irish humour that runs through the film. The Unholylands is a comedic yet heartfelt exploration of youth, camaraderie and the messy, joyful transition from university life into adulthood.
