Jackie Kimball, 28 and living with her boyfriend Anthony, is suddenly beset by sexual difficulties and a loss of desire. Despite Anthony’s understanding reaction, and despite Jackie’s experience as a psychotherapist, she seems oddly resistant to working on the problem. After an unpromising start at sex therapy, Jackie announces her wish to take a week off and visit her brother Matthew, whose wife Lily is expecting their first child. As soon as she arrives at Matthew’s place, however, Jackie puts aside her responsible working-adult personality and relaxes into a more expansive, theatrical mode and drinking heavily. The film is a sequel to “The Unspeakable Act” (2012).
