Siamo nelle campagne attorno a Londra. Maggie, una vedova, ha un nipotino gravemente ammalato e in procinto di morire. Solo un'operazione in Australia può salvarlo ma i genitori non hanno il denaro necessario per il viaggio. Maggie va nella capitale a cercare lavoro ma per lei, donna sulla sessantina, non ci sono offerte. Decide allora di tentare con una proposta di assunzione come hostess. La prestazione però non è quello che lei, ingenuamente, crede. Dovrà masturbare i clienti di un locale porno i quali non avranno la possibilità di vederla. La donna, pensando alla salvezza del nipote, accetta nonostante tutto. Affinerà a tal punto la propria abilità nel 'lavoro' da diventare la mano più richiesta dai clienti, che faranno la fila per 'Irina Palm'.

What a nice surprise, I wanted to see this movie since viewing the interview about the film, with Marianne Faithfull on French TV, but never got round to it and saw it on DVD 18 months later. This is a highly recommandable movie and quite funny, the cast is excellent and Marianne is outstanding. The story is about a 50 something years old woman desperate to find money for last chance surgery to save her grand son, for that she needs about £6000 pounds. Jobwise her prospects are rather dim, she hasnt got qualifications and the job market is clearly not fitted for a 50 years old woman. She ends up working in a sex parlour giving men some favours with her skilfull hands, she is so good at her job that she is overwhelmed by demand. The story looks completly unexpected but I fully adhered to it. We are spared any crude words or images but it works and Faithfull is so enchanting that you dont want the movie to end, even if it ends rather well for her.

I thought this was a wonderful film and not what I thought it'd be at all. A moving, touching, funny script and really thought provoking film - I really felt and cared for the characters

Very unusual subject matter. Heart-wrenching and hilarious at the same time - a difficult thing to achieve! The script and acting (particularly the older characters) are wonderful and totally believable, and when Maggie finally tells her old friends what her secret 'job' is I laughed more than I have in years. Marianne please, please appear in more films because I believe you are up there with the likes of Kathy Bates, Dame Judy Dench, Kate Winslet et al. Well worth five stars.
