On
a quest to lose their virginity, three young men with disabilities
embark on a wild road trip. Enjoying the finer things in life (like wine
and song), these friends believe the only thing missing is the touch of
a women. Isolated by their disabilities and cared for by their parents,
they convince their families they need to go to Spain on a “wine tour”
but this is a cover for their true destination — a Spanish brothel that
caters to men with disabilities.
Free screening. RSVP to Aryn.Cahen@jccnv.org
