It is described as "a comedy about love, lust, and satisfaction". It tells the story of Emma Thompson's 55-year-old widow Nancy Stokes who craves adventure, human connection and sex, and craves great sex for the first time in her life. Her husband Robert gave her a house, a family and a decent life, but he is gone. Now Nancy feels that "some nuns have more sex than me." she has always been an activist, a former teacher and quite organized, so she immediately began to implement the plan: after doing some research, Nancy hired a male prostitute in her early 20s, Leo Grande (or, as Leo introduced himself as a "sex therapist"). Get ready to have a night of bliss.
