Sorry, Carol

By Brendan Cunningham

In the heart of Dublin's Phibsborough, Sorry, Carol unfolds the poignant story of Des and his family as they grapple with the unraveling effects of his recent diagnosis with a devastating brain disease.

As Des' memory fades and his grasp on daily life weakens, he begins apologizing-again and again-to a mysterious woman named Carol, a name that neither his wife nor daughter recognizes.

Through a dual timeline that weaves between Des' present-day struggles and vivid flashbacks to his childhood and adolescence in Dublin, a tender mystery emerges. From his days in the local youth club to weekend trips in the countryside, Des reflects on where he's come from and where he is today-his estranged brother, his beloved football team Bohemian FC, and the ties that shaped his life

Trapped within his deteriorating mind, Des is unable to share these memories with his family, leaving them adrift and unsure how to reach him. As his silence grows, so do their fears: have they lost him already, or is there still time to heal their own fractured bonds?

Sorry, Carol is a heartfelt exploration of love, memory, and the threads that bind a family together-even as they threaten to fray.
