A Perfect Ending
Sharon
Rebecca tiene un secreto muy inusual, uno que ni siquiera sus mejores amigos conocen. La última persona en la tierra que espera para revelarlo a un escort de alto precio llamada París. Lo que comienza como una comedia de errores termina en un viaje exclusivamente erótico. Los esfuerzos no convencionales de Rebecca por encontrarse a sí misma son crudos, evocadores, y a menudo humorísticos, pero siempre muy reales, muy humanos. A veces un final perfecto no es lo uno se espera que sea. (FILMAFFINITY)
