Two estranged branches of a family – one in New York, the other in Ireland – attempt to mend a generations-old feud in THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE, starring Colm Meaney and Paul Reiser. The film centers on Irish undertaker Ciáran (Meaney), whose dying father Fergus (Des Keogh) has one last wish: to reconcile with their long-lost American relatives.
