This niche, off-kilter rom-com directed by Adelaide filmmaker Sophie Hyde celebrates the liberation of Nancy, a middle-aged widow whose history of sex was one of short and unsatisfying marital encounters.
Nancy (Emma Thompson) is brutally aware of her status as an unfulfilled woman and in a moment of daring hires a sex worker to be her undercovers coach. In walks the splendidly named Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack) – tall, gorgeous and comfortable in his perfectly proportioned body.
