fiogf49gjkf0d CONCUSSION, a modern day twist on ‘Belle de Jour’, is a sexy, provocative, and passionate film that explores the consequences of a woman turning her fantasy life into reality.
After Abby, an attractive 40-something, wealthy housewife, is smacked in the head by her son’s baseball, she begins to yearn for something else, something more than her banal suburban life. Determined to take on a new project, she buys a pied-à-terre in Manhattan. But walking around the city streets reminds Abby of what it feels like to be sexy and her pent-up libido compels Abby to invent a secret double life that draws her deeply into the world of high-end prostitution for women.
As Abby becomes more and more obsessed by her new role, and as her decisions become increasingly reckless, we realise that she won’t be able to contain this secret forever…
Stacie Passon’s accomplished debut features breakout performances from Robin Weigert and Maggie Siff, and explores the secret desires and sexual re-awakenings of women with a mix of sensuality and poignancy that will appeal to men and women alike. Just as ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ ignited a conversation about female sexuality, CONCUSSION will provoke that same hunger for sexual discovery - as a means to finding your true self.
