Filmed in Ireland, "Rory O'Shea Was Here" is the powerfully humorous story of two ambitious and romantic young men who are determined to live life to the fullest. Michael, afflicted with cerebral palsy, is a long-term patient at the Carrigmore Residential Home for the Disabled.

Together, they devise a plan to outwit the system and become free at last from the stifling confines of the hospital. From Working Title Films.
