Middle-aged Maggie (Marianne Faithfull) must find a way to get enough money for her grandson's lifesaving medical treatment and with all financial resources exhausted she knows she must take drastic action. When a "Hostess Wanted" sign catches her eye, Maggie naively stumbles into a city sex club. The true job description is quite a surprise for her respectable, middle-class widow, even if she isn't a prude. But unskilled Maggie accepts this as her fastest way to raise the urgently needed cash.
When Maggie's double life quickly attracts the attention of her gossip neighbour's prying eyes she remains steadfastly discreet, keeping the money's origins secret from even her own suspicious son. But discovery is inevitable and Maggie must confront provincial hypocrisy's ugly face, as well as question her own morals. As she holds her head high, gracious Maggie just might find more than family love...
British icon Marianne Faithfull gives a beautiful performance as the determined grandmother in this award winning film, backed by performances from the charismatic Miki Manojlovic and Jenny Agutter.
