Inside I'm Dancing, also released under the title Rory O'Shea Was Here, is an Irish 2004 comedy-drama film directed by Damien O'Donnell and starring James McAvoy, Steven Robertson, Romola Garai, and Brenda Fricker. The film revolves around two disabled young men who pursue physical and emotional independence in direct defiance of "protective" institutional living and their society's prevailing standards and attitudes, especially pity.
The production was filmed in Dublin and Wicklow and involved production companies Working Title Films and StudioCanal with assistance from the Irish Film Board (Bord Scannán na hÉireann).
The two lead actors in this film do not actually have physical disabilities, leading some to criticise it for casting non-disabled actors in to disability roles. This criticism is especially poignant given that the character of Michael is portrayed as having a rather pronounced version of athetoid cerebral palsy when in fact the actor who portrays him is entirely physically normal.
Synopsis
Michael Connolly is a 24-year-old with cerebral palsy who is a long-term resident of the Carrigmore Residential Home for the Disabled run by the formidable Eileen. His life, mundane and schedule-driven by the institution's authorities, is transformed when the maverick Rory O'Shea, who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, suddenly moves in. Michael is stunned to discover that fast talking Rory, prone to lewd and/or overt jokes at unpredictable intervals, and 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 the wider world outside of Carrigmore.Actors

The film opens with Christy Brown, who has cerebral palsy, being taken to a charity event, where he meets his handler, a nurse named Mary Carr. She begins reading his autobiography. Christy could not walk or talk, but still received love and support from his family, especially his mother. One day, while Christy was still a young boy, he is the only person home to see his mother fall down a flight of stairs while in labor. He is able to get the attention of some neighbors, who come to his mother's rescue. His father, who had never really believed in Christy, becomes a supporter when, one day, when he is about ten, Christy uses his left foot (the only part of his body he can fully control) to write the word "mother" on the floor with a piece of yellow chalk.

À Bruxelles, Antoine, la quarantaine un peu usée, est photographe sur commande. Il mène sa vie entre la bouteille et des réparties ironiquement désabusées. Il s'occupe également de Matéo, le petit garçon d'une voisine qu'il garde, fait travailler et qu'il éduque avec sa façon de voir la vie. Les notes de l'étude Révolutionnaire de Chopin à travers la cour lui font remarquer une étudiante dans un appartement en face. Un soir de 31 décembre, alors qu'il la suit au bout de son objectif, il la perd avant de la retrouver sur le toit à esquisser quelques pas de danse et qu'elle se jette dans la cour. Antoine prévient les secours et l'accompagne à l'hôpital : Elena n'a finalement que quelques fractures. Il découvre une personnalité idéaliste et exigeante. Leurs fêlures les font se rapprocher. Elena, qui a repris sa thèse sur l'archéologie égyptienne sous-marine, est également éducatrice dans un centre pour délinquantes. Leur relation, platonique, va les aider à retrouver une confiance en eux et éclaircir leurs vies respectives.
