The Sessions - Wenn Worte berühren (2012)
Mark O'Brien leidet an Kinderlähmung. Das heißt, er ist zur beinahe vollkommenen Bewegungsunfähigkeit verdammt und muss die meiste Zeit des Tages in einer Eisernen Lunge verbringen. Im Alter von 38 Jahren fasst der eloquente Schriftsteller und begabte Poet einen ungewöhnlichen Entschluss. Er will Sex haben. Nachdem er sich beim örtlichen Pfarrer die "Erlaubnis" dazu geholt hat, findet Mark in der Sex-Therapeutin Cheryl, die sich auf derartige Fälle spezialisiert hat, die ideale Partnerin, um endlich seine Unschuld zu verlieren.
