Plot of the film "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande"
In a hotel room, Nancy Stokes greets a young sex worker named Leo Grande. Stokes is worried about the meeting, having ordered it online in a rare moment of self-indulgence due to feeling depressed lately. She explains that her husband, who died two years ago, was the only sexual partner. Their sex life was extremely unsatisfactory. Her husband never allowed her to have oral sex with him, claiming that this act was humiliating for him. She had never experienced an orgasm in her life, only imitated it for her husband during passionless missionary sex from which they never deviated. Nancy is embarrassed by her appearance and age, about which he has no doubts and urges her to accept. Nancy talks to Leo to relax for physical intimacy. She shares details about her adult children, whom she is disappointed with, and about her previous job as a teacher of religious education. The man reciprocates, telling some details of life, including that his mother considers him an oil rig worker. He keeps his real profession a secret from his family. Leo is not ashamed and does not regret sex work, considering it a useful and necessary service, and calms Nancy's embarrassment about hiring him.
