A darkly comedic romance centered on a deeply problematic age-gap relationship, treating its morally troubling premise with irreverent playfulness rather than gravity.

A middle aged writer of pornographic novels meets and falls in love with a sixteen year old school girl. This alone is cause for concern but when the couple get married and move to America, the trouble (and fun) really begins.
