The movie

Mary is a 50-something indoorsy cashier who lives for work and Jesus. One day, she overdoses on hormonal patches and is assaulted by her senses. She now has a new quest: to lose her virginity.

* Daria Woszek, director, in situ, 08.07

Mary is nearly 50, still a virgin, and completely obsessed with statues of her biblical namesake. Working in a grocery store, she lives an unremarkable life until one day, the hormonal patches prescribed by her doctor overwhelm her with hot flushes and uncontrollable impulses. Marygoround is a dark comedy that is as naughty as it is eccentric. It underlines the importance of discovering oneself and living a fulfilling life, regardless of age. Daria Woszek delivers a feminist tale full of sincerity and positive energy.
