The Sessions
Based on the poignantly optimistic autobiographical writings of California-based journalist and poet Mark O'Brien, THE SESSIONS tells the story of a man confined to an iron lung who is determined - at age 38 - to lose his virgiity. With the help of his therapists and the guidance of his priest, he sets out to make his dream a reality.
