Sinopsis
Helena is 64 and has always been faithful to her husband. She loved him, trusted him, and was going to keep her marital vows till death do them part. For forty years, Paweł provided for her and satisfied her erotically, fathering their three beautiful children. So why would Helena want to cheat on him now? To break free from his domination? Or maybe she just wants to taste another man? When Paweł deceives her and a modeling opportunity comes along, Helena finally takes control of her own life.
