It was a time when people went to the cinema several times a week for evenings of Hollywood romance, for magical matinees of adventure. It was a place for children learning to emulate their film heroes when movies were the stuff of innocence and delight. Palace of Dreams looks back fondly at the life and times of a local cinema which was, when it first opened, one of the finest in the country. This poignant documentary preserves on film a unique part of Irish social culture.
