Synopsis
Exploring lingerie, sex toys and the pleasures of her own body for the first time, a middle-aged disabled woman interrogates what physical intimacy means to her. After a lifetime of enduring mostly clinical forms of touch, she yearns for her first gratifying sexual experience. With the support of her friends, caregivers and a Dutch organization that connects disabled people to sex care workers, she builds the confidence needed to prioritize this aspect of her well-being at last. Offering a lens through which we can examine intersections of sexuality, disability and gender, Sexual Healing is an introspective conversation-starter that brings much-needed illumination to an experience that is too often left out of social discourse.
