"Lena, a teenager with Downs Syndrome, is fascinated by sex and all the mystery that surrounds it; fertility, desire and the mechanics of childbirth. When she steals The joy of sex from her local library, her mother forces her to take it back in an embarrassing family spectacle that only strengthens her daughter's rebellious and irrepressible desire. A compassionate and mature look at sexuality, coming of age and disability. An Australian gem, selected for the Berlin Film Festival"--Container |
