BORROWED HANDS

Catalina, a young woman with cerebral palsy, is eager to have her first sexual experience. She hires a sex worker to fulfill her wish, but things don’t go as planned. Instead, as the two women indulge in the city’s nightlife, their initially ephemeral encounter turns into something unexpectedly meaningful.
