Sanctuary

Details

Larry, has Downs, Sophie, has severe epilepsy. The two are attracted to each other and, with the help of care worker Tom, they sneak away to a hotel room during a supervised trip to the cinema. What do they do once they are there? How do they express a love that dare not speak its name? Are they aware that in Ireland they are about to break the law?

An impromptu shopping trip, pints in the pub, and a surreptitious cuddle in front of a movie screen. The comedian Dave Allen once said: "The secret of comedy is small victories", and these mini triumphs offset the dramatic challenges that take place in a Galway hotel room between two lovers who refuse to be defined by their disabilities.

Sanctuary is released on DVD 2nd April 2018 from Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment.
