Synopsis/Details
When Jacky Boyle faces the fact he needs to step down as the director for their family funeral business he turns things over to his gay son Taffy. Taffy must reinvent the way they have been doing funerals in order to save the business. Taffy meets Cameron Lorn at Cameron’s brother’s funeral. Farlane Lorn died in a tragic freak accident at the whisky distillery that he worked at. The two fall in love and form a strong bond. Taffy launches the new way of doing funerals at their local pub. People seem keen on the idea of designing their own funerals. Taffy’s sister Aberdeen and brother in law Firth own a ewe farm. Someone has been stealing their ewes. They can’t afford the loss as they are saving for a seeing eye dog for their 6 year old blind daughter Greer. Taffy dyes his hair a blushing pink, and Firth gets the idea to dye the ewes heads pink so no one can steal them. It catches the attention of the local news and soon they are know as “ The Famous Blushing Ewes”. It ends with a party crasher’s funeral for Taffy’s Mam, a backyard wedding, a seeing eye pig named Brewster, & a encounter with Nessie. I believe the diverse, quirky, characters with heart would appeal to people of all ages.
