Special screening of this humorous British drama starring Emma Thompson as a middle-aged widow who hires a young sex worker.

This screening includes a free drink and a short introduction and is a collaboration with  Arnhem Together.

Nancy Stokes, a retired schoolteacher and widow, is yearning for some adventure, some human connection, and some sex. Good sex. Whilst her husband Robert provided a home, a family, something resembling a life, good sex was never on offer. But he’s gone now, and Nancy has a plan: she will find adventure with an escort named Leo Grande.

In an anonymous out-of-town hotel room Nancy greets Leo. He looks every bit as good as his picture, but what Nancy wasn’t expecting was conversation as well as fornication. Leo has a view on everything, and though he may not always tell the truth, Nancy finds she likes him. And he likes her.

With growing sexual confidence, Nancy starts to relax. Over the course of three rendezvous, the power dynamics shift, and their well-worn masks begin to slip.

ARNHEM TOGETHER

We are a group of international women in and around Arnhem who are looking forward and helping one another achieve our dreams. We come from all over the world, but we have chosen to live, work and play here. Many of us are mothers; many of us are looking to carve out our identity. All of us are looking to build a supportive and interesting community. We share experiences in common and we embrace our differences so that we can learn from one another. We use this as a strength to support each other and excel in our specialities.
