[edit] Plot
Michael is a 24-year-old who has cerebral palsy and long-term resident of the Carrigmore Residential Home for the Disabled, run by the formidable Eileen. His life is transformed when the maverick Rory O'Shea, who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, moves in. Michael is stunned to discover that fast talking Rory, who can move only his right hand, can understand his almost unintelligible speech. Rory's dynamic and rebellious nature soon sparks a flame in Michael, introducing him to a whole new world outside of Carrigmore.
[edit] Trivia
- The film was partially funded by the Irish Film Board.
- Despite this film being all about disabled people, only one actor in the film is a disabled person, actor Donal Toolan in a small, speaking role. However the entire cast of extras playing residents in the Carrigmore home were volunteers from within the disabled community.[citation needed]
