Sanctuary promo shot

Film: Sanctuary at Audi Dublin Film Festival

18 Feb 2017 (Past)

Light House Cinema


Larry and Sophie are in love. They bribe the feckless Tom to book them into a hotel for an afternoon tryst and look forward to getting to know each other, like countless couples before them.

But Larry and Sophie aren’t any couple; they both have intellectual disabilities and Tom is their care worker. By attempting to be intimate, they aren’t just breaking the rules – they’re breaking the law.

Filmmaker in attendance.
