Woah baby, buckle up. This is a short, unflinching reflection on disability, womanhood, and caretaking. It's no nonsense and quick-witted, raunchy, and a little graphic. It draws attention to so many things able-bodied persons take for granted without even noticing, and it points out something that should just be a normal assumption, but I think often isn't - persons with a disability are still sexual beings. It's kind of wacky and hilarious, and it's a fast-paced roller coaster ride. The ending felt rushed, and I am not sure I even took it all in, but I still enjoyed this.
