A sanctuary or a state of exception? Gran Canaria is a place where the sun always shines, but where the glamour of tourism conceals the real challenges faced by year-round residents. With tenderness, humor, and vibrant pastels, A Place in the Sun examines the contrast between the dream of paradise and the daily realities of those who have come to the island seeking refuge from addiction and violent ex-partners.
