FAIRYTALES AND PORNOGRAPHY

Fairytales & Pornography is a sexy romantic drama about an idealistic legal-aid lawyer, Warren, who swoons over his troubled client, Laura. A postponed judgement in court prevents Laura from having to spend Christmas in jail – and a compassionate invitation from Warren saves her from having to spend it alone. At Warren's family home in the idyllic small town of Tweed, Laura's problems seem as far away as the big city. But the holiday ends, and court resumes.
