SYNOPSIS
Holy Name is the story of a working-class family in 1960’s Buffalo, NY. The matriarch of the family – Mindy – is suffering from a mental illness which expresses itself in verbal abuse and physically-threatening behavior. The men of the family – father Van and brothers Ron and Mickey – devise a plan to get Mindy treatment, but when it backfires it sends the family – especially youngest brother, Mickey – into a deep psychological battle of determination vs. free will, family obligations vs. a happier life.
