The Buddhist of Castleknock

Set in a well-to-do Dublin suburb, The Buddhist of Castleknock explores the tensions which rise to the surface during a traditional Christmas get-together.

When one of Edie Sullivan's sons announces on Christmas Eve that he has converted to Buddhisim and won'tbe joining the yuletide festivities, the entire family is forced to confront their innate prejudices, fears and assumptions, with both comic and tragic results.
