BDSM rocks! Or, maybe not really. As a fuckbunny with a pig’s nose, Ann, who is in her mid-thirties, is looking for sexual fulfillment. The results are hilarious.

Ann, a grumpy, sarcastic and thoroughly disillusioned thirtysomething, has never had a conventional relationship. Instead, she submits in role-playing to sex friends, most of whom she meets on the internet. She has been in a relationship of this kind with Allen for years, but they don’t know much about each other. Professionally, she pursues a real bullshit job, with unclear objectives and limited prospects. And the conversations with her parents, as much as they love her, are mostly limited to absurdly superficial small talk. - Droll scenes and perfectly timed punchlines follow one another in quick succession, characterized by classic Jewish-American humor, which is always also self-deprecating. Free of any vanity, director Joanna Arnow plays the main character – and probably also herself a little bit.
