Synopsis
Little about marriage is blissful for newlyweds Joseph and Maria — especially the sex. Maria has never had an orgasm with him. They both see a therapist who doesn’t seem to help much. This becomes evident when Joseph discovers that Maria has been seeing a very hands-on sex therapist, Baltazar, on the sly. Joseph is crushed — but after confronting them, he is surprised to find himself joining them on their journey.
