Leaving Las Vegas (re-release) in Maastricht

Ben Sanderson, a disgraced Hollywood screenwriter who has lost everything to his spiraling alcoholism, arrives in Las Vegas with a singular, grim mission: to drink himself to death. Amidst the neon glitz and grit of the city, he crosses paths with Sera, a sex worker navigating her own life of struggle and isolation. They form an unlikely, poignant bond defined by a non-interference pact—an agreement to exist side by side without judgment. Set against the backdrop of an unforgiving city, their story is a raw, unflinching look at human fragility, self-destruction, and the desperate search for connection.
