Road movie by wheelchair along the wine route to the doors of a Spanish brothel.
Of all the handicaps shared by three young Flemish men, the only one they can actually do anything about is their virginity. And neither blindness, wheelchairs nor least of all parents will stop them, even if their own safety is involved. Accompanied by a grumpy nurse, they leave for Spain along the wine route. Their final destination: El Cielo, a brothel recommended by a handicapped friend. If life has to be short, at least do it in style. And if you have to be stuck in a chair, at least in the back of a vintage minibus leaving for the 1001 pleasures of the south.
For the last hermits of the year who haven't yet had the chance to laugh at Intouchables or the plight of the disabled in general. This Flemish version by Geoffrey Enthoven stars three touching young disabled men who tease each other throughout the film, with a raft of hilarious scenes, biting humor and an irresistible accent. And shows that young men talk about sex in the basest of terms, whether they're disabled or not.
