    Red Roses and Petrol is a family love story on screen and off. Its film life began when Tamar Simon Hoffs saw Joseph O'Connor's celebrated play in New York. The play's sharp observations of family life and witty exploration of characters facing personal tragedy were an irresistible combination for her. "It deals with my favorite subjects -- love and family," she says. "Joe O'Connor's wickedly funny, dark take on the emotions that surface when this Dublin family reunites for their father's funeral just turns everything you usually associate with mourning upside down. But, there is much more to Red Roses and Petrol, as each family member, provoked by another, peels back layer upon layer of unpredictable secrets in a domino effect of revelations. And I recognized every member of the family."
