Emma plays the part of a 77-year-old woman who used to be a prostitute in the movie “The Legend of Barney Thomson.” She portrays Cemolina, the cunning mother of the main character, Barney Thomson (played by Robert Carlyle). She is hard-driven and tough as nails. Barney is attempting to conceal a crime, and to do so, he requires the assistance of his mother’s previous grifter experience. He discovers just how much of an expert she is in providing the help he desperately needs. Emma is assuming the role of Robert Carlyle’s mother, despite being only two years older than him in real life!
