Accidents Happen is a moving and savagely funny comedy about family, friendship and fate in 1980s American suburbia. At the age of six, Billy Conway witnesses his elderly neighbour die in a barbecue accident. When his mother, Gloria, Queen of the Comic Putdown, suggests a trip to a drive-in movie to take Billy's mind off the cremated neighbour, the Conway's night-out ends up worse than it began with another major accident. Over the ensuing eight years, the ripples of that fateful night have thrown the remaining family members into disarray. Billy has settled into an accident-prone existence and does his best to bolster his mother since his father walked out. However, the ensuing collision of guilt, truth and self-discovery may be just what his family needs to move on. (Matchbox Films)
