After the death of her husband, 55-year-old Olena tries to have an orgasm for the first time in her life, but her husband's spirit does not allow her to do so.

Synopsis:

Olena, 50, and her husband Mykola are making love when he dies suddenly. After the funeral, at night she dreams of sleeping with Mykola’s friend Slavik. Shaken, she confesses to her best friend Verunya that she has never had an orgasm. Verunya gives her a dildo, urging her to explore her desires. Later she tries using it, but as she nears pleasure, Mykola’s spirit appears in the mirror, terrifying her.

Desperate to exorcise Mykola’s presence, Olena invites a young priest to bless her home. After the consecration of the bedroom, the priest groped her. She slaps him and throws out. Verunya sets up a Tinder profile for Olena, so she meets Yevhen. They share a candlelit dinner at her home, but Mykola’s ghost appeared again. She and Verunya visit a fortune-teller who advises her to perform a ritual with a trusted man. Verunya and Slavik surprise Olena with a birthday celebration.

As the party winds down, Olena seduces Slavik. She ties him to the bed, attempting the ritual, but he breaks free and leaves, disillusioned. In her rage, Olena throws a pillow at the mirror, shattering it. In its reflection she sees Mykola’s portrait—her own mind had been tormenting her all along. Olena visits Mykola’s grave, removing her wedding ring and burying it in the dirt. The cemetery guard chases her away. In the safety of her bathtub, she touches herself and experiences her first orgasm, while Slavik knocks on the door. She opens it, naked, and pulls him inside. They make love as a rebirth.
