Until a recent change in the law, people with an intellectual disability were banned from having sex in Ireland unless they were married.
In Galway, Larry (Kieran Coppinger), a young man with Down’s syndrome, is desperate to spend some private time with Sophie (Charlene Kelly), a young woman with severe epilepsy, so care worker Tom (Robert Doherty) has booked them a hotel room for an afternoon.
During a trip to the cinema, Tom’s charges settle down to watch the film while Larry and Sophie sneak off to the hotel.
Their tryst doesn’t go according to plan in a film that is brimming with charm but also has an endearing sense of humour.
The disabled characters are all played by disabled actors which may be why the film feels so true to life. (Selected release from December 29.)
