Abby is a bored forty-something suburban housewife. She is married to Kate, a strong and successful divorce lawyer. Their collective life is full of routine and order. After a blow to the head, Abby is confronted by her mundane and suffocating world, and finds herself wanting more. She takes on a new project and purchases an apartment in Manhattan. It is not until she is in the city, away from her family, away from suburbia, that Abby is able to feel sexy again. After a couple of encounters with other woman, Abby begins a sex work career servicing other women, some lesbian and some curious.
Concussion is an electrifying and engaging film that examines the universal idea of a 'midlife crisis' and the loss of passion in long-lasting relationships.
Director Stacie Passon delivers a powerful, sexy, erotic and visually stunning debut film. However it is her lead actor Robin Weigert who steals the show, with her pitch-perfect performance as the restless housewife, Abby, who becomes Eleanor, the sex worker.
