Cruz is a religious Catholic and a very conventional grandmother in her seventies. Her last orgasm was years, more likely decades, ago. By chance she finds a porn site on the internet...with unexpected consequences. Her husband is overwhelmed by her sexual and sensual awakening. A sex-therapy group for women helps her in her search for sensuality and self-love.

A warm-hearted, feminist and optimistic coming-of-age story with humour and eroticism for mature people, wonderfully played by Spanish actress Kiti Mánver (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown). The film celebrated its world premiere at the renowned Sundance Festival.

Director's Biography:Patricia Ortega, born 1977 in Venezuela, studied in Cuba and Ludwigsburg. Her second feature film BEING IMPOSSIBLE screened at the BraunschweigIFF in 2019. She grew up in a religious Catholic family and was the "black sheep" who did not follow traditional role patterns.
