A severe bought of polio debilitated
the young Mark (John Hawkes) meaning he has to spend most of his time
in an iron lung.
Now 38, a college graduate and very
brilliant poet, Mark has overcome his disability in many ways, yet
still feels he has missed out on one of life’s major
experiences-losing his virginity.
He begins to see a sex therapist (Helen
Hunt) who develops a fascinating relationship with Mark as she guides
him through this physical journey.
This is a very raw, open story (and
based on a true one) but it is handled with warmth and humour by a
range of authentic, thoughtful characters. Nothing is left to the imagination
