En la aguda pieza de Karen Abbott, unos octogenarios poseen una pasion que nada tiene que envidiar a las inolvidables protagonistas de "Las chicas de oro". Molly Jong-Fast reflexiona sobre su educacion no convencional y por que toda una generacion de mujeres jovenes han rechazado el amor libre a favor del cochecito de bebe y el mama y yo hacemos yoga. El sexo, en definitiva, puede ser tan fugaz, pesado, mundano, e intenso que el resto de la vida. De hecho, Jong afirma en su introduccion " La verdad es que el sexo es vida, ni mas ni menos.
