In order to finance a potentially life-saving operation for her grandson, frumpy 50-something Londoner Maggie (Marianne Faithfull) applies for work at a Soho sex club. At "Sexy World," the shy but sprightly widow meets the club's charming manager, Miki, who gently introduces her to her tasks as a "hostess." Along with the cash, Maggie gains renewed self-confidence, realizing that she's not as old, unattractive and useless as she thought. But as her reputation as the "wanking widow" grows, Maggie struggles with the knowledge that she stands to lose everything if her secret is discovered by her conservative family and friends. With a delicate eye for detail and a keen sense of irreverence, screenwriters Martin Herron and Philippe Blasband transport us into a world full of wonderfully flawed characters.
