The Man Who Wanted to Fly tells the irresistible story of 80-something bachelor farmer Bobby Coote from Cavan, who has had a lifelong dream to fly a plane. Available to rent on QFT Player.

Enlisting the help of his neighbour Sean, the two set out to build their own field of dreams, cutting out a runway in Sean’s farm and even building a hangar.

Bobby will get no encouragement from his brother Ernie, another octogenarian in the Coote family home. Ernie thinks the whole thing is daft but Bobby is determined to take to the skies if it’s the last thing he does.

Capturing the wonder of one man’s dreams, The Man Who Wanted to Fly is a unique journey into a disappearing border hinterland and a delight from start to finish.

Please note: This version of the film features subtitling throughout.
