Life During Wartime, featuring Shirley Henderson and Ciarán Hinds, will be screened at this year's New York Film Festival.

Synopsis: A young man preparing for his bar-mitzvah must deal with his divorced mother’s prospective fiancé as well as rumors that his own father is not really dead. Wartime is not a historical period, but a constant; a battle between the sexes and an endless struggle between personal desires and a society set up to contain them.
