Acclaimed actress Aina Clotet provokes with an insatiable thirst for passion, love, and life in the shadows of illness.
Sex after cancer? Why on earth not! Celebrated with a Rising Star award at the 2026 Cannes Critics’ Week, Catalan actress Aina Clotet (“53 Winter Days”, “Live Twice, Love Once”, “The Enchanted”) directs herself in a daring, sharp-witted, and darkly comic drama that explores the wild resurgence of desire in the aftermath of a crisis.
The unstoppable Nora has just emerged from a brutal battle with breast cancer, forever changed, but fiercely determined to seize every thrill life has left to offer. Once confined to hospital rooms where her only flirtation was with death, Nora now craves so much more, supported by her devoted partner, Tom. At forty, she plunges into simultaneous affairs, drawn to the raw magnetism of Max, a seductive dancer twenty years her junior, while Tom waits patiently at home. Nora’s pursuit of pleasure propels her from one impulsive choice to the next as she chases the hunger that survival has awakened.
