No need to panic about buying the family a perfect last-minute Christmas gift as Life’s A Breeze is now available to buy on iTunes and Amazon.

Lance Daly’s feel-good comedy Life’s A Breeze follows a family struggling to stay afloat and stay together through hard times in Ireland. Unemployed slacker Colm (Pat Shortt), his aging mother Nan (Fionnula Flanagan) and his niece Emma (Kelly Thornton) must overcome their many differences to lead their family in a race against time to find a lost fortune.

Following on from its premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh earlier this year, the film has screened at some of the world’s most important festivals including the Toronto International Film Festival and the Busan Film Festival in Korea. During its theatrical release in Ireland and the UK it garnered praise such as the Irish Daily Mail calling it “the most heart-warming inter-generational comedy since Little Miss Sunshine” and Twitch.com hailing it as ‘”the next Full Monty”.

Life’s A Breeze was produced by Dublin-based Fastnet Films (The Runway, Kisses), with the support of the Irish Film Board and Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and is being distributed in Ireland and the UK by Wildcard Distribution. It is currently available for sale and rent in stores throughout Ireland and the DVD can be bought through the Wildcard Distribution website, on Amazon.co.uk and iTunes.  A great family film to watch over the festive season.
