Thaddea Graham stars in this comedy drama about one woman's fight for love and the ability to step outside her own front door.

Agoraphobia and panic disorder have left Paula housebound, but she's trying to make the best of it - despite a younger brother who would test the patience of a saint and a father who is smothering her with concern and cups of tea. She's content merely hitting the "snooze button" on her life - until she meets cool and fearless Niamh. Suddenly Paula is dreaming of big things, perhaps impossible things. Now she wants it all, love, laughs and adventures, but can she venture back into the world?

Inspired by writer Caitlin Magnall-Kearn's own experiences with panic disorder and agoraphobia, Safe Space tells the story of one Belfast woman's dealing with a mental health condition and trying to find love.
